From Goodreads: Gork isn't like the other dragons at WarWings Military Academy. He has a gigantic heart, two-inch horns, and an occasional problem with fainting. His nickname is Weak Sauce and his Will to Power ranking is Snacklicious--the lowest in his class. But Gork is determined not to let any of this hold him back as he embarks on the most important mission of his life: tonight, on the eve of his high school graduation, he must ask a female dragon to be his queen. If she says yes, they'll go off to conquer a foreign planet together. If she says no, Gork becomes a slave.
Vying with Jocks, Nerds, Mutants, and Multi-Dimensioners to find his mate, Gork encounters an unforgettable cast of friends and foes, including Dr. Terrible, the mad scientist; Fribby, a robot dragon obsessed with death; and Metheldra, a healer specializing in acupuncture with swords. But finally it is Gork's biggest perceived weakness, his huge heart, that will guide him through his epic quest and help him reach his ultimate destination: planet Earth.

Cute coming-of-age story as told by the protagonist, Gork The Terrible. Gork is a dragon, albeit a soft-hearted one (big hearted is how he puts it). He doesn't have any of the Will To Power he is expected to have IF he is to find his Queen, make her his, and go on to conquer a planet. Following his adventures from birth through his Crown Day (the day he must find a queen who will accept him) is often humorous, often fraught with danger (for the small horned dragon), and often silly (as teens can be when looking for acceptance). Yet, can he deal with those around him who wish him harm and survive the day? Will he learn that his greatest weakness might just be his greatest strength? An interesting fantasy novel, that happens to be the debut novel by Gabe Hudson.
