In this middle grade historical adventure novel, Syms Covington, a real boy aboard Darwin‘s famous expedition aboard the HMS Beagle through the Galápagos, finds himself marooned on a volcanic island with an endangered species—real, live dragons! The survival story will appeal to fans of I Survived or Hatchet and kids will learn a lot about both scientific and natural history at the same time.
