    [synopsis] => From NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Chris d'Lacey comes a brand-new action-adventure series!
	When Michael Malone discovers his supernatural ability to alter reality, he is recruited by an organization dedicated to investigating strange and paranormal phenomena. He joins in hopes of finding his father, who mysteriously vanished three years earlier. Michael's first task is to solve the mystery of a dog he rescued from a precarious clifftop -- a mystery that leads him to a strange and sickly classmate and a young girl who was killed in a devastating accident. Stakes are high as Michael learns to harness his newfound ability and uncover the deadly truth about his father's disappearance.     A bold and thrilling tale of alternate realities, paranormal mystery, and extraordinary adventure.            Praise for the Last Dragon Chronicles"Chris d'Lacey's writing is sometimes exciting and sometimes silly. But that seems in keeping with the worlds he created -- one that seems almost real and one that is beyond imagination." --THE WASHINGTON POST"An entertaining adventure." --KIRKUS REVIEWS"D'Lacey's characters are realistic and engaging. . . . A page-turner." --THE HORN BOOK"The story, with its involving and thought-provoking plot full of clever little dragons, mystical polar bears, and spiritual and ecological aspects, will appeal to many fantasy lovers." --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL            Chris d'Lacey is the author of several highly acclaimed books, including the New York Times bestselling Last Dragon Chronicles series; the Dragons of Wayward Crescent series; the UNICORNE Files trilogy; and The Erth Dragons series, The Wearle, Dark Wyng, and The New Age. Chris lives with his wife, Jay, in Devon, England, where they are at work on his next book.            From UNICORNE FILES #1: A DARK INHERITANCE"What about Dad?"      "What about him, Michael?"      "There must be some way to bring him back. You said I could find him. What do I do?"     "Nothing," he said. "You do nothing about your father, unless we request it. UNICORNE will continue the search for now."     So why was I even in the car? "I need to know where he is, Mr. Klimt. You have to let me help you. You have to. Please."     "And how do you propose I go about this?"     "Do tests. Whatever. Like you did with Dad. Let me be a part of your organization. Make me a member of UNICORNE."     He looked down into his lap and smiled. "You would be a boy in an unsafe world. You have no idea what dangers could await you."     "I don't care. I'll do anything to get Dad home. Let me prove myself to you. Give me a job. There must be something I can do."     The car rolled to a halt.     "Please, Mr. Klimt."     His eyes looked up to a gap in the screen a signal to the driver not to open the door yet. "Very well," he said. "I will give you a task. But there are rules, Michael. Serious rules. If you break them you will put yourself in jeopardy, and all chance of finding your father will be gone. There are people out there, other organizations, who would stop at nothing to access your abilities. This episode with the dog will not have gone unnoticed."     I gulped and gave a quick nod.     "Rule number one. You do not speak about UNICORNE to anyone, not even to your family, and certainly not to your friends. Anything you find, you share only with me, Chantelle, or Mulrooney. Do I have your word on this?"     "Yes. Where do I start?"     "Find out about the dog."      Praise for the Last Dragon Chronicles"Chris d'Lacey's writing is sometimes exciting and sometimes silly.
