Helping her are Bayang, a dragon disguised as a Pinkerton agent; Leech, a boy with powers he has not yet discovered; and Leech's loyal companion Koko, who has a secret of his own.

But even with Pele on their side, they may not be able to stop Mr Roland from gaining what he seeks: the Five Lost Treasures of Emperor Yu.
