Highfire (Broché)

Squib Moreau may be a swamp-wild, street-smart, dark-eyed, Cajun- blood tearaway, but his intentions are (generally) good : he really wants to be a supportive son to his hard-working momma Elodie. So when Squib is offered an apprenticeship by the local moonshine runner, a summer on the bayou looks like the only way to pay off the family debts and maybe get him and his momma a place in town, far away from crooked Constable Regence Hooke's unwanted courtship of Elodie and the ton of debts left by Fake Daddy before he skipped town on them.
Unfortunately for Squib, the crooked constable has his own eye on that very same stretch of bayou — and neither of them have taken into account the dragon hiding out in the Louisiana swamp... Change is coming for Squib Moreau — and for Vern, aka Lord Highfire — and life in the bayou is never going to be the same again. A funny, violent, gripping tale of a boy, a corrupt constable and the last dragon in the world.
Maybe.
