Weepy the Dragon: Standing Tall by USA Today bestselling author J. J. Hebert is a fast-paced, emotionally engaging middle-grade fantasy about confronting bullies, believing in yourself, and learning that real strength is not about hurting others, but about knowing when to stand tall. Ideal for readers ages 9–12, and enjoyable for the whole family.
Years ago, when a terrible fire threatened the castle, a small dragon named Weepy saved the kingdom in the only way he knew how: with his tears.
Now twelve years old, Weepy is no longer small. He’s bigger. Stronger. And when an invading army marches toward the castle, everyone expects him to protect them again—this time with fire, fear, and force.
But as pressure mounts and the enemy invades, Weepy begins to wonder what strong really means, and whether courage always looks the way others expect it to.
With guidance from an old commander who understands the true cost of war, and the steadfast support of his human best friend Elin, Weepy must face bullies without becoming one himself. Because standing tall doesn’t always mean striking back—and the bravest choices are often the ones no one expects. $0.99 on Kindle.
