"I'm Red the Time Dragon! I will be your guide to the Middle Ages! But we have to be careful. Dragons aren't exactly popular here."

So begins Joe and Lilly's first magical adventure back in time. They have tons of questions about everything, so Red shows them what life was really like in the year 1200.

And when the trip is done, the only question left is where they will go next!
