When Odo discovers a sword in a dried up river near his home he embarks on an unexpected quest. The enchanted sword knights him on the spot and he and his friend Eleanor, now his squire, set off to find the source of the drying river. Both meet with unexpected challenges along the way and even find that the dragon they seek is not actually the cause of the river problems.
The book had a lot of action and was a lot of fun. My gripe came at the end. There was a lot of build up and then all of a sudden there was a quick battle, a confrontation with the dragon, and done. It just seemed to end quicker than it should have.
I recently read Frogkisser as well, another book by Garth Nix and I liked that one better.
