Jellaby is a comic book about a dragon who gets lost in the woods and is scared. A girl named Portia finds him and takes him to her house. She tries to get Jellaby home but problems keep occuring. Part of her problem is how is she going to hide a big purple dragon?

Portia told Jellaby to hide in the woods when she was at school but he came to school anyway and went on the roof. Portia does not find him until recess, She tells him to stay there until school ends. That's when tshe meets a boy named Jason. He is being bullied and Portia steps in to help him. Then they have to go to the principals office and Jason sees Jellaby climbing through the window. Jason helps Portia by making a plan to get Jellaby back to his home. Since Halloween is in a few days they decide that would be a good time because no one will recognize Jellaby as a monster, they will just think that he is a person in a costume. Portia tells her mom that she's going to go trick or treating with Jason and his dad so Portias mom calls Jasons dad. Jason picks up the phone and pretends to be his dad and tells her that he'll take Portia trick or treating.

Halloween rolled around and they were off to get Jellaby home. They think his home is in Toroto, Canada so they have to take a train. A lady on the train gets suspicious that Jellaby is not a person in a costume but a creature, so Jason tells Portia they have to go. A scary guy starts walking toward them so they run away from him. At the door Jellaby holds Portia and Jason and jumps out of the train. Then they sadly realize that it is going to be a long walk to Jellabys home. The book is to be continued.
