New Kid at School / K. H. McMullan / 91 pages / First Book in a Series

Dragon Slayers' Academy #1
Wiglaf was different from his twelve brothers.  He was small for his age, had hair the color of carrots, and he could not bear to see any creature suffer.  Sometimes he dreamed he would one day become a mighty hero.  A wandering minstrel, who had spent the winter in Wiglaf's pig sty, told Wiglaf stories of dragons and their secrets, taught Wiglaf to read and write, and foretold that Wiglaf would, indeed, one day be a hero.  On the way to the Pinwick Fair, the family passes the village message tree and its notice describing Dragon Slayers' Academy.  It is determined that Wiglaf should go as he in the most useless of the brothers.  En route, he encounters Zelnoc, a wizard of soemwhat questionable powers, who gives Wiglaf a bent magic sword, and bespells Daisy, Wiglaf's pig, to speak pig Latin, ...and the rest is history.  Can a dragon be killed with bad jokes?....Queen Barb & King Ken?!
