(3) 1-3 Dragons of Wayward Crescent series. Illustrated by Adam Stower. Distraught over the town's plans to demolish a historic library clock, Lucy Pennykettle's mother creates a time-keeping dragon, Gauge, to help. At first, Gauge doesn't seem very useful (except for enforcing bedtime), but he manages to save the clock with help from Lucy and a friendly ghost. The lighthearted, quick-moving text is accompanied by line drawings that emphasize Gauge's lively personality.
