Nugget the Space Chicken and the Dragon of Ishenor
Written by Jean Davis
Illustrated by Morgan Davis
Traveling in space with a pet chicken has its challenges.
Jasper and Opal's first mission with their scientist parents is to study the world of Ishenor to see if it could be a home for humans. They travel to the planet's surface with Nugget, their pet chicken, to collect samples. Everyone has a job to do.
While their parents explore the landscape, Opal gathers plants and Jasper collects rocks. Nugget's job is to stay out of trouble, but hunting for bugs leads her to a lost baby dragon.
Can Opal, Jasper, and Nugget get the dragon home safely before their parents return, or will they all be grounded forever?
This fun science fiction adventure series is aimed at kids ages 6-8.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jean Davis writes an array of speculative fiction, including short stories, a space opera series, stand-alone novels, and children's picture books about her chickens. When taking a break from fictional people, she spends time with her musical husband, a small flock of ducks and chickens, and an attention-craving terrier. Occasionally, she ventures outside her home in West Michigan to play in her flower garden, visit the local breweries, and eat gluttonous amounts of sushi.
