Hold on – is that a dragon?
Wait, no – it’s just the rarely spotted shelf full of Dork Diaries.
SHHH! I think I see a Griffin.
No! It’s something just as rare: a bunch of Princess in Black books on a shelf.
Alright – that’s a Minotaur.
Fooled again. It’s the never before seen shelf full of Dog Man books.
