The Hidden Beast, 12

A dragon causes flaming mayhem in this twelfth book in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Pike's Spooksville series.

A fire-breathing dragon has appeared out of nowhere and is looking for its treasure in Spooksville. In fact, the dragon intends to destroy the entire town unless its jewels and gold are returned immediately. The only trouble is that Adam and his friends don't know where this treasure is.

Worse, the hotheaded creature won't listen to reason, and soon it's laying waste to everything in its path with its fiery breath. The dragon has no problem turning kids to ash, either. Soon Adam and his friends are fighting flames--and for their lives!
