As the story unfolds, Snuffy realizes that all is not what it seems and begins a quest to find the solution to his dilemma.  Excerpt Snuffy the dragon felt quite insecure The warlords had raided his lair once more Just as his head was turned at a noise They stole all his gold, jewels and coins Snuffy the dragon they knew of old They knew all his quirks; he wasn’t so bold He couldn’t even manage a frightening pose If he tried to breathe fire, he got smoke up his nose All through his life he’d been a timid old soul In his youth war and fighting was never his goal His conscience was clear; he had visions and sights He enjoyed sunny days and long playful nights Snuffy the dragon puffed out his chest Stretched his wings wide at the thought of a quest Wizards and warlords are an ominous crew But he’d find old Haglazar; he’d know what to do

Snuffy's Quest is the story of a young boy whose determination to set out on his own to join and study under a secret order of mystics and sages leads to much more than the great adventures he imagined.
As the boy reaches manhood, he learns of a wicked queen with a magical green glove. The lure of the magical glove becomes too much for him, and so he searches for three years until he finds the wicked queen. He discovers, however, that the queen has a beautiful maid, and when he asks permission to marry, the queen becomes irate and turns him into a dragon
The quest that ensues as Snuffy the Dragon uncovers the secret of regaining his human form is poignant and uplifting. The ending is one that will bring a smile into your heart.
I would rate it an exceptional story for children, both in content and style.
