American Dragon
by Jeff Goode
Like all American teens, Asian-American Jake Long skateboards—oh, and he’s also the
wise-cracking American Dragon, guardian of all magical creatures. In one episode (“Hero
of the Hourglass”), Jake travels back to when his dad was a teen in order to get his
mom to reveal the truth about magic and dragons.
Or, I can change things for the better. . . ooh, there’s a
whole side of my family that my dad doesn’t doesn't know about. I have the chance to
change that, the chance to reverse the last twenty years and redo everything without the
lies, the secrets, the being grounded every other week.
