Jack is fascinated about anything to do with dragons so he’s thrilled to meet a real, live one with the unusual name of IF. But IF is sad and frightened as he has travelled into the present by mistake and is now being pursued by a dragon hunter who wants to put him in a zoo. To escape he must go far back in time, but to do so he must shed a tear. But there's a problem - dragons only cry when they are very happy. Jack thinks he's found a way to help, but then things go horribly wrong ... An exciting book to encourage boys to read!
