With Calvin and Hobbes appeal, a boy and his "pet" dragon take on a new school and attempt to make 100 friends! Warren is a seven-year-old boy. Dragon is a seven-hundred-year-old dragon. Not that most people believe that. Most people are sure that Dragon is a stuffed animal. People such as Warren's twin sister, Ellie, who challenges Warren to a contest at their new school: making 100 new friends. Warren isn't so good at making friends, but he doesn't like losing to Ellie, and Dragon will help him. But the first day of school doesn't exactly turn out the way he'd hoped, and even worse, Dragon disappears! By the time Warren gets home, he's not only not made any friends, he's lost his best friend. First day of school jitters are entertainingly explored in this laugh-out-loud chapter book.

Warren and Dragon are setting out on their most unspooky, totally normal, not-scary-at-all adventure yet...their first sleepover! Warren is a seven-year-old boy and Dragon is part stuffed animal, part fierce dragon, part best friend--depending on what part you believe most. And Michael is their new friend and next-door neighbor. When Michael invites them over to go "camping" in his basement, the dynamic duo don't know whether they're more excited or nervous about it. This is their very first sleepover. EVER. Sure, Michael promised there would be not one but two desserts to look forward to. But he also said he wants to swap--gulp--scary stories. Warren can think of nothing more embarrassing than calling his parents to pick him up early from a sleepover, but how is he supposed to fall asleep in a dark basement full of mysterious and unfamiliar noises?
