GRAVE DANGER

"My owner gives the best belly rubs, but she isn't very clever. Taking a shortcut across a graveyard on Halloween? It was always going to end badly... Now we're being chased by vengeful ghosts and I have to show why cat dragons are the bravest pets in the world. Little Flame to the rescue!"
