Description
Loïc and his faithful companion, the spunky little winged dragon Portagne-des-Montagnes, find themselves in a nightmarish fortress, which the irascible Captain Baboune still powers with foul humour, despite having been humiliated by Loïc only moments before. Baboune operates a machine that alters the very nature of the winds. The machine is fuelled by the grumpiness of adults upset with their lot. Led by an enchanted crow, Loïc and Portagne must find the key to destroy the machine and free the grown-ups.
