娜奥米环视着冒险公园，咧嘴一笑。 这是她快乐的地方，这是肯定的!公园里挤满了人。 孩子们在

skateboards performed tricks on the half-pipe. Others flew by on the zip line. The climbing wall was really busy, too. "You might have to wait in line for all the good things today," said Naomi's dad. "I hope you don't get bored." "I won't!" Naomi promised. "I want to practice my gymnastics routine anyway." "Well, we'll be over at the picnic area," said her mom, unstrapping Naomi's baby brother, Dakari, from his stroller. "Come find us when you get hungry." "Okay!" Naomi called happily, running off. Her dad had packed a delicious picnic, but Naomi was way too excited to eat. Lately, some amazing things had been happening to Naomi. Magical things. She had visited an incredible place called the Magic Forest. Everything in the Magic Forest seemed special and different—even Naomi herself!

滑板运动员在半管道上表演特技。 其他人则在高空滑索上飞驰而过。 攀岩墙也很忙。 娜奥米的爸爸说:“今天所有的好东西你可能都得排队了。” “我希望你不会觉得无聊。” “我不会!”拿俄米承诺。 “反正我也想练体操。” “好吧，我们会去野餐区，”她妈妈说，一边把娜奥米的小弟弟达卡里(Dakari)从婴儿车里解开。 “你饿了就来找我们。” “好吧!”娜奥米高兴地喊着，跑开了。 她爸爸准备了美味的野餐，但娜奥米太兴奋了，吃不下去。 最近，娜奥米身上发生了一些不可思议的事。 神奇的事情。她参观了一个叫魔法森林的神奇地方。 魔法森林里的一切似乎都很特别，很不一样——连内奥米自己也不例外!

When she entered the forest, she was no longer a normal girl. She became a Dragon Girl. This meant she could fly and had incredible dragon strength. Even better, her friends Azmina and Willa were Dragon Girls, too. The three of them weren't just any Dragon Girls, either: They were GLITTER Dragon Girls!

当她进入森林时，她不再是一个正常的女孩。 她成了龙女。这意味着她能飞，而且拥有不可思议的龙的力量。 更棒的是，她的朋友阿兹米娜和威拉也是龙女郎。 她们三个也不是普通的龙女郎:她们是闪闪发光的龙女郎!

Azmina was the Gold Glitter Dragon and Willa was silver. Naomi was the Rainbow Glitter Dragon—which made sense because Naomi loved colorful things. She liked wearing bright clothes, and her parents had finally let her paint one of her bedroom walls purple and another one green. Naomi and her friends were helping protect the Magic Forest from the evil Shadow Sprites. The Shadow Sprites were troublemakers who wanted to change the forest into a gray and dull place. This would allow their cruel leader, the Shadow Queen, to return and take control. But the Dragon Girls were determined not to let that happen! "I'll be down near the wall," Naomi called to her parents as she ran toward the old stone wall near the edge of the park. On the other side were the local woods. The trees rustled their leaves as Naomi got closer. It felt like they were waving at her. Naomi sprang up lightly onto the sturdy wall. It was wider than the beam she used for gymnastics

阿兹米娜是金闪闪龙，薇拉是银闪闪龙。 娜奥米是彩虹闪闪龙——这是有道理的，因为娜奥米喜欢五颜六色的东西。 她喜欢穿鲜艳的衣服，她的父母终于让她把卧室的一面墙漆成紫色，另一面漆成绿色。 娜奥米和她的朋友们在帮助保护魔法森林免受邪恶的暗影精灵的侵害。 暗影精灵是捣乱的人，他们想把森林变成一个灰色和沉闷的地方。 这将允许他们残酷的领袖，暗影女王，回来控制。 但龙女们决心不让这种事发生!娜奥米一边朝公园边上的老石墙跑去，一边对父母说:“我就在墙旁边。” 另一边是当地的树林。 娜奥米走近时，树叶沙沙作响。 感觉他们在向她招手。 娜奥米轻轻跳上坚固的墙壁。 这比她在体操比赛中使用的横梁还要宽

training, but it was still good practice. Expertly, Naomi flipped up onto her hands and began to walk along the wall upside down. The stones were smooth and warm to her touch. Nearby, Naomi could hear the shouts of excited kids playing. But she could hear another sound, too, and it was coming from the woods. Magic Forest, Magic Forest, come explore … Naomi lowered herself into a backbend, then stood up. Her heart beat very fast. The Magic Forest was calling her! She had been on a few adventures in the Magic Forest, and she got the same thrilling feeling every time. She turned to look at the adventure park. It was alive with color and sound and joy. Kids dashed from one piece of equipment to another. Over in the picnic area, Naomi could see her parents sitting on the grass with her little brother. No one was paying any attention to her. Naomi grinned. Perfect! Quickly, she scanned the ground

训练，但这仍然是很好的练习。 内奥米熟练地用双手倒立，开始沿墙行走。 石头摸起来又光滑又温暖。 娜奥米能听到附近孩子们兴奋的喊叫。 但她也听到了另一个声音，是从树林里传来的。 魔法森林，魔法森林，来探索吧……娜奥米弯下腰，然后站了起来。 她的心跳得很快。魔法森林在召唤她!她在魔法森林里经历过几次冒险，每次都有同样的兴奋感。 她转过身去看冒险乐园。 它充满了色彩、声音和欢乐。 孩子们从一个设备跑到另一个设备。 在野餐区，内奥米看到她的父母和她的弟弟坐在草地上。 没有人注意到她。 拿俄米咧嘴一笑。完美!她迅速扫视了一下地面
