Book excerpt: The novel, The Dragonheads, features five adventurous, smart and fun sixth-graders who go on a quest to find the mysterious Magical Eggs and restore world harmony. They're from the land of Lamatia, which was ravaged by war when these orphans were six years old. Vidar, Ana, Zlatan, Tina and Yasen live in the Orange Home and School for Orphaned Children and play music in the Dragonheads band named after the Dragonhead flower. One winter day, the children came to the aid of an injured seagull. Five centuries earlier, this seagull was the King-guardian of the Twelve Magical Eggs whose beauty and power are responsible for the world's harmony. Since that time, the land has been ravaged by many fires, wars and earthquakes. Countless people and wild creatures, good and evil, have been searching for the Eggs all over Lamatia. The good ones want to re-establish the world's harmony, and the evil ones want to destroy the Eggs in order to create chaos on Earth. King Lucan chooses the Dragonheads to find the hidden Twelve Magical Eggs because of the children's goodness and desire to explore the world. In the first four months of their adventurous journey, the Dragonheads meet many good people, animals and mythical beings who are helping them to outsmart four evil Eggs hunters.
