"Cyrus Silverstar wants to be as brave as his friends, the other students at Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy. But during his assignment to grant a child's wish for a pet, he ends up spelling the most terrifying pet of all: a dragon! Now the dragon is loose on the school, and it is up to Cyrus to catch him. Cyrus learns that you don't always have to feel brave to be brave, and sometimes the scariest situations can become the most magical adventures."--
