A big city garbage truck makes its rounds, consuming everything from apple cores and banana peels to leftover ziti with zucchini.

Wiglaf and the other students of Dragon Slayers' Academy take a class trip to the Dark Forest into the Cave of Doom, which supposedly contains the gold of the dragon Seetha.

When the headmaster of the Dragon Slayers' Academy hears that Princess Belcheena will pay the matchmaker who finds her a husband, he decides that Wiglaf is the perfect candidate.

"He's a big red engine with a siren, a horn, a tank full of water, and whole lotta hose! He's a good-lookin' fire truck, and he's brave, too. When the alarm sounds, he's gotta drive through smoke and heat straight to a blazing fire!"--Front jacket flap.

Upon superstitious headmaster Mordred's orders, the returning students and new lasses of Dragon Slayers' Academy deck themselves in lucky charms on Friday the thirteenth, but luck may not help when a wicked dragon arrives seeking revenge.

La méchante Gorgone qui transformait en pierre tous ceux qui osaient la regarder? Qui a été décapitée par Persée ? Oui, cette Méduse-là. Et bien vous vous trompez. Tout d'abord, Méduse n'avait pas des serpents à la place des cheveux à sa naissance. C'est grâce à Athéna. Et aux dernières nouvelles, Méduse est bel et bien vivante.

Mais si jamais vous pensez que j'aurais fait ça, surtout à ma magnifique reine, c'est que vous avez cru aux mensonges de Zeus! Il a inventé cette histoire pour nuire à ma réputation. La vérité est que Perséphone tentait simplement d'échapper à sa mère surprotectrice. Elle s'est faufilée dans les Enfers toute seule. Mais ce n'est que le début de l'histoire.

While Headmaster Mordred is trying to impress a new student, who he believes to be the first female at Dragon Slayers' Academy, the ghost of one of the school's founders besieges the halls seeking his stolen gold.

Wiglaf faces the double embarrassment of having his wacky parents visit Dragon Slayers' Academy on Parents Day and starring in the school play as the brave but small knight, Sir Tinybottom.

A ransom note received at Dragon Slayers' Academy sends Wiglaf and Angus to the rescue of the supposed victims, but upon arriving at Keep Away Mountain Cave, they discover that an elaborate prank has put them in danger.
