The local police are completely stumped, but the mystery takes a magical turn when the thief makes a very big mistake at the Pennykettle house. He breaks in and manages to steal one of Mrs. Pennykettle's incredibly special clay creations. Unfortunately for the burglar, he has swiped Grabber, a dragon who is notorious for his own mischievous habit of taking things! Now, Lucy is extremely worried about her little clay friend. Will the magical dragon use his unique powers to help the police catch the bad guy and bring him to justice?

Young Lucy Pennykettle is absolutely convinced that a terrifying monster is lurking outside her bedroom window in the dark. She is too scared to sleep, but her mother knows exactly how to handle the situation. Mixing a tiny bit of magic with her special clay, she creates Gruffen, a brave little miniature guard dragon brought to life specifically to protect Lucy's room. As the tiny dragon bravely stands watch over the window, he makes a highly unexpected discovery. The scary monster is not a monster at all, but rather a friendly little bat named Hattie! Hattie is in desperate need of help because the grumpy next door neighbor, Mr. Henry Bacon, has cruelly boarded up her home, leaving her and her baby batlings with nowhere to go. Realizing they have a shared enemy, Gruffen and Hattie quickly become the best of friends. Together, this tiny dragon and clever bat must hatch a brilliant plan to outsmart the mean neighbor and find a safe, warm new home for the bat family.

Lucy Pennykettle absolutely loves the magical clay dragons that her mother brings to life, and she is incredibly attached to one in particular.

However, as Lucy tries to figure out a way to stop the sale, she begins to realize that there is a much bigger picture involved. The world outside is full of people dealing with sadness and difficult emotions, and someone else might desperately need Glade's special magical help even more than Lucy does. Lucy must bravely learn a difficult lesson about sharing the things she loves and discovering the true, comforting purpose behind her mother's wonderful magical creations.

Luckily, they have some highly unusual help on their side. Lucy's mother uses her special clay to create Gauge, a magical timing dragon with a very specific set of skills.

They will need to use every trick, spell, and clever plan they can think of to stop the bulldozers in their tracks. It is a thrilling race against the clock, and Lucy must prove she has the courage to save the day before time runs out completely.
