Driven Underground

Just like so many children, George Spears was sent away to ride out World War B, but unfortunately, his parents didn't make it. Eight years after the end of hostilities, George still found himself living with his aunty in the Hisbride Islands, but now (since he was no fisherman) he had become the postmaster of their little fishing village. Unfortunately, fishing had become scarce, and so had customers to his aunties shop, and postmastering didn't pay much either (because there wasn't much of it to do). Times had become tough. So, rather than be a burden to his aunty, George left for the mainland to make his fortune. He had a plan: He would buy things to sell to the Army. What George never expected to find was that the Army were messing with the very growth formula that had prevented starvation during the War. And (inevitably) that went badly wrong. In order to fix things they decided (in the way that the Army always does) that there was only one way to clean up their mess... George managed to get himself roped into helping to save the animals and thrust into a trek across the country that he'd never forget. But what was that about a dragon?
