An epic quest. Ned, eleven-year-old intrepid leader of the Quest Kids--his best friend Gil, Terra (a 700-year-old elf), Boulder, (a rock troll), and Ash (a dog who may be a pig)--track down the elusive Golden-Fleeced Rage Beast, steal his golden fleece, and bring it to the villagers of Bristolburg so they can sew a fancy zip up, gold sweatshirt for a loungewear-loving dragon who is threatening to burn down their village.
"The Quest Kids are ready for their first real quest. This time, they won't oversleep or fall in quicksand, and they PROMISE they won't accidentally burn down the village that hired them. Their mission: find the golden-fleeced rage beast, shave it, and make a really nice golden tracksuit to appease a furious dragon."--Page [4] of cover.
"The Quest Kids are ready for their first real quest. This time, they won't oversleep, they won't be put off by a little rain, and they won't accidentally burn down the village that hired them. All they have to do is find the Golden-Fleeced Rage Beast, shave it, and make a really nice golden tracksuit to appease a furious dragon. Simple, right? Meet the Quest Kids crew: Gil, a wizard (well, wizard in training… the beard isn't his); Terra, a 700-year-old elf kid; Boulder, a rock troll who is more of a cook than a fighter; Ash, a flatulent pig-dog-maybe-lizard hybrid; and, Ned, the intrepid and overly optimistic leader with his own personal quest to find his missing parents. With humor, magic, mystery, and at least one acid swamp filled with skeletal alligators, Quest Kids and the Dragon Pants of Gold is a richly illustrated saga of fantasy friendship for readers from all kingdoms!"--Provided by publisher.
