Chiang-An, the youngest dragon at only 224 years old, vies for the honor of being named Keeper of the Mountain, an honor bestowed by the four Imperial Dragons of China only once every thousand years. Challenged to prove themselves worthy, the dragon community must discover the perfect gift.What gifts, wonders Chiang-An, could he possibly find which would elevate him above the older dragons? Which part of China could he search where the older and more powerful dragons wouldn't get there first? Chiang-An decides he must journey where he has never gone before to search for his treasures, far from his village and far outside China.As he travels, each dragon he meets, from England, Africa, Mexico, and North America, shares with him wonderful dragon wisdoms and contributes unique gifts to Chiang-An's search. When he returns to China on New Year's Eve of the Year of the Dragon, Chiang-An carries the gift which will be able to "last a thousand years".
