HIDDEN DRAGONS

by Shirley Van Sanden

Brendan is an Australian born Chinese boy who is having difficulty accepting his Chinese heritage. On the morning of his 11th birthday, Brendan experiences a recurring nightmare where he witnesses a fight between a red and a blue dragon. Instead of his nightmare ending, Brendan's deceased grandmother, Popo, appears to him in a continuing dream. Popo has enlisted the help of Brendan's best friend, Scottie, in an attempt to help Brendan accept his 'dragons'. Using traditional stories, make-believe and physical comedy, Popo and Scottie help Brendan to come to terms with his red Chinese and blue Australian dragons.
