Ruby and Nolan's Great Adventure in Space Book 2 Brenda Colbath

The Weller Family; Ty, Robin, Ruby and Nolan committed to being part of an exploration and settlement of a newly discovered planet in another Solar system 6 light years from Earth. Ruby and Nolan agreed to go but wanted to bring "Uncle Dawnzereli," their dog Pebbles, and they wanted ponies. Unfortunately, Uncle Dawnzereli and the ponies could not come. While inspecting the Solar Panels on the hill above their home, Ruby and Nolan discover a pretty "rock." They were surprised to find out that their science project is not a rock at all, but an egg. Yikes! It hatches and the baby Dragon that they help out of his shell, bonds with them; they name him Donzereli after their Uncle Dawnzereli. They love the strong, wonderful friend that they think of as an aunt, even though they call her Uncle Dawnzereli since the first met. Ty and Robin are very disappointed (this is an understatement) that the kids kept this secret from them. They were excited to meet the "baby" Dragon, but meeting his parents, not so much. Eventually, the settlers accepted that there were real live Dragons on their planet. Telling their parents they were going on a picnic, our adventurous kids, with their best friends met Donzereli close to their house. They only planned on a day trip flying to the mountain to see Donzereli's "Keep." Just as they were ready to mount their dragons out stepped Dr. Allen and hitched a ride with them. They couldn't refuse, because he might tell their parents! Are we up to speed now?
