    Cassie Morgan's family move around from town to town, never stopping long enough to make friends or have fun. In their new town of Madson Cassie tries to make friends at a local fair, and a visit to the wizard's tent brings her far more excitement and friendship than she could have ever hoped for.

      Dragon's Gold - Pat Judd

      Cover art by Alena Lazareva

      Chapter One - A Mud Bath

      The day hadn’t started off badly at all. In fact it had started very nicely if you didn’t count Bobby! It was Saturday and it was the first day of the local fair. It was being held in the middle of town and Cassie Morgan and her family were all going.

      They had moved to the small town of Madson just three weeks ago and, so far, Cassie thought that it was very dull. She had left behind her best friend, Sally, and since school didn’t start for another week she hadn’t met anyone except the neighbours and they were all boys. Well, if you could call them neighbours as the nearest house was a good five minute walk down the rough and dusty road.

      Cassie was tired of moving. They moved every year and she had to make new friends every time.

      There’s an ad in the paper for the local pony club. Cassie’s mother called out as Cassie came down the stairs. Would you like to join? I’m sure you’d meet other girls your age there.

      Uh. No thanks. Cassie turned down her mother’s offer. Horses frightened her even though she wouldn’t admit it. Bobby, her twin brother, guessed at once why she wouldn’t go and teased her as they went outside to get into the car.

      Chicken.! he yelled and then ducked as she swung to hit him.

      She missed him and only managed to send herself off balance and land heavily on the dry dusty ground. She brushed a lock of blonde hair out of her face and decided it was time for another haircut. She tried to get it cut as often as possible to keep it in the boyish style that she preferred and her mother kept trying to make her grow it long. Bobby had his blond hair cut short so why couldn’t she?

      Her brother was always teasing her and today was no different. All the way into town in the car he let his foot swing just enough to keep kicking her in the ankle. Cassie moved but so did Bobby and just as they reached town Cassie punched him in the arm to make him stop.

      Cassie. That’s not very ladylike, her mother scolded and Bobby pretended to be hurt until she turned back to the front of the car and then he grinned.

      I’ll get you, Bobby, Cassie promised as the car stopped.

      We’re here, her father announced.

      Cassie forgot all about her horrible brother as she stared at the large fair that had been set up in the field. There were people everywhere and music blared from speakers perched at the top of tall poles. Stripped tents were pitched in rows and Cassie could see a red ferris wheel at the far end of the field.

      We’ll meet you back here at three. Cassie heard her mother say as she was halfway across the car park. Cassie loved fairs and from here she could see at least seven or eight girls her own age. She had no idea that there were this many people in such a sleepy-looking town.

      Cassie wanted to introduce herself to the group of girls ahead of her but, ‘Hi I’m new here’ sounded a bit silly. Maybe she should just wait until they noticed her - but what if they didn’t notice her for ages.

      Just as she decided to go over to them she stumbled and felt herself flying forward. Of course she landed face first in the only puddle of mud in sight, at least she hoped it was mud. What had she tripped over? Cassie looked back to see Bobby standing laughing hysterically and pointing at her. He must have done it on purpose.

      Cassie suddenly realised that Bobby wasn’t the only one laughing. The group of girls had their hands over their mouths trying to stop laughing.

      Cassie stood up with as much dignity as a ten year old girl covered in mud can do. She pretended not to have noticed the group of girls and broke into a run as she went around the back of the nearest tent. When she caught up with that little brother of hers... She called him that because he had been born five minutes after her.

      As she ran round the corner she bumped
