Magic happens when the imaginary becomes real!
​

Dragons, Monsters, and Imaginary Friends
 
…is an action and adventure story where the make-believe becomes real. It’s for all ages from ten and up. Underdog Peter Marshall dreams of base hits and be a hero, but he has to overcome lots of single-parent life hurdles. No coach wants him. A girl is a much better ballplayer. Taunts and peer pressure are constant. Parents involved struggle with their own life issues. One carries out sinister plots against Peter and others. Dragons… is like a youth and adult, southern Field of Dreams with hilarious player, coach, and parent antics like in The Bad News Bears, magical moments as in Angels in the Outfield, and the heart-tugging, lost puppy in the rain reality moments in Blind Side.  It’s an emotional rollercoaster to the final scene.
