Book excerpt: Jamie Falconer can whistle up a breeze anytime he wants. When captain Deadmon and his band of pirates discover Jamie's talent, they plan to kidnap him and take him along on their quest for a dragon's gold. Jamie makes a shocking discovery: Deadmon is dead! The mummified pirate captain once vowed never to rest until he'd plundered a dragon's hoard and divided the booty among his men. Since there were few dragons even in those days, swearing such an oath was a foolish thing to do. The pirates have been searching for a dragon since Deadmon died in battle ten years before, and the search isn't going well. There is one dragon left within their reach, but it lives on the Isle of Winds, where no ship can approach--unless Jamie's talent for whistling up the wind can get them there!
