But a few of these winged creatures do hire out their labour to human in return for gold - they are dragons, after all.Poor Frankie! |isbn= 1406375500}}{{Frontpage|author= Angela Woolfe|title= Roxy and Jones: The Great Fairytale Cover-Up|rating= 4.5|genre= Confident Readers|summary= After her father gets married for the umpteenth time, Roxy Humperdinck is sent to live with her half-sister Gretel in Rexopolis, the capital city of the Kingdom of Illustria.
