**From renowned picture book creators Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake, the story of Ace Dragon LTD. -- who isn't so limited after all.**

When John notices a manhole cover with the words _ACE DRAGON LTD._ written across it, he can't help but investigate what lies beneath. And so begins an unusual friendship between a boy and a dragon named Ace, who wears two pairs of Wellington boots and loves skywriting with fire, flying stunts to the moon, and turning gold into straw.
