When Milo Harper's new school bus driver shows up wearing gloves in August and a scarf that never comes off, he knows something isn't right.
By the end of the week, he's seen smoke curl from the rearview mirror, claw marks carved into the steering wheel, and eyes that glow molten gold in the morning sun. With the help of his friends Tessa and Jordan, Milo uncovers the truth:
Mrs. Alder isn't just their bus driver.
She's a dragon.
Hidden along their everyday bus route lies a secret sanctuary and at its center, a dragon egg ready to hatch. But when mysterious hunters begin tracking unusual heat signatures around town, the patrol becomes a rescue mission.
Now Milo and his friends must decide: stay ordinary… or stand guard beside a creature of legend.
Because some routes don't just take you to school. Some protect something worth fighting for.
