american dragon

Set in Manhattan, American Dragon is the story of 13-year-old Jake Long, a Chinese-American boy who has to balance an ordinary adolescence with a very cool secret... he's a descendent of dragons!
When he eventually unlocks his full potential and turns into the American Dragon, Jake will overcome obstacles to protect the magical creatures living in the city. But as his ordinary self, Jake Long, he can't conquer his crush on Rose who, uknown to Jake, has an amazing secret of her own... she's a dragon slayer!
Jake navigates the city with fellow skateboarders Trixie and Spud, and when he gets home, it's to an extended family: a businessman dad originally from the Midwest who doesn't know he's married into a family of dragons, Jake's Chinese mom, his grandfather (who recently immigrated to train his grandson in the ways of the ancient dragon), younger sister Haley (a nascent dragon) and Grandpa's gruff sidekick, a magical Shar-Pei named Fu Dog.
