Fire Breathing Humans
Fire Breathing Humans is a gag filled MG fantasy adventure that turns the genre on its head, a reverse of The Hobbit, where a fellowship of monsters venture into the human lands. When ten-year-old Leif Larkin is exiled from his village for turning into a “giant demon bear,” he’s thrust upon an epic quest alongside the same monsters that he’s been raised to fear.
