The Dragon of Neston - Tess Adone

When Ette Durand skips two grades and enters junior high school in 1964, the perils of fitting in and doing well pale in comparison to discovering the emerging counterculture, race riots across the United States, and combat looming in Viet Nam. War isn't just on the other side of the world. The Dragon of Neston-that ancient foe called the devil-is alive and well and on the prowl in the least expected places. The battles start at the bus stop, inflict injuries in the gymnasium, and take captives in the classroom. Dieter Norden warned her that her new faith would be tested, and Ette wants to take Dieter up on his promise to help her, but between his Olympic swimming trials and the pressures he faces before graduation, how can he find the time? But Ette needs to find a way to slay the dragon, and for that she must take up the shield of faith and rely on The Helper who will never leave her nor forsake her.

The Dragon of Neston is #2 in The Neston Novels Series. Set in Wortham County, a fictional locale in Vermont, the town of Neston also is in the crucible of change.

Follow Ette Durand and Dieter Norden throughout The Neston Novels Series as they navigate the choppy waters of the 1960s and beyond.
