"Green Flash, a troublesome miniature dragon who wants to help troubled kids (a combination Santa Claus and Godzilla), gets involved with “Ding” Diaz. He puts the troubled ten year-old Hispanic boy from the ghetto into one mess after another (usually unwittingly). But handling adversity helps Ding overcome a multitude of problems and emotional handicaps. He learns about himself, others, the world around him. Ding thought he had problems inside and outside the classroom, with a local gang, and with his father and little brother. He made bad choices due to a dark secret in his heart. A helper dragon, Green Flash, by mistake takes him to Dragon Central, a dangerous planet in a parallel universe. Even if Ding learns his truth, he might be stuck there forever"--Publisher's web site.
