On his journey, Rafi befriends a brilliant scientist, Maud, who has secrets of her own. Together they search for dragons, all while escaping from a dangerous dragon hunter, engaging in a steam-engine car chase, and figuring out what Mister Flitch really wants with Rafi. And, oh yes, they do find the dragons.
