So when he discovers a robin made of iron, he thinks he's found the perfect friend - even if his pet dragon isn't quite so certain! When the robin begins to glimmer and hop, Oliver is overjoyed, but in a terrible turn of events, this new friend is lost.
But the magic of Iron Robin and the joy of friendship means that there is wonder and excitement ahead for Oliver...
