The Lost Years fills in the gaps of what happened to
Pete that aren't previously known. At five years old, Pete finds himself alone in
the forest to fend for himself after his parents were killed in the car
accident. Pete was scared and alone and finds an unlikely dragon friend. Elliot
saves Pete from a pack of wolves and afterwards they start a new life together.
For fans of Pete's Dragon, this book is a prequel worth reading. Elliot is
suddenly alone in foreign surroundings, and Pete is lonely and misses
companionship. While this was an enjoyable, easy read, I found myself doubting
Pete's abilities to do things that were beyond his years.
