Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis

Eustace the dragon hunts animals to feed the group and becomes a heater. Thankfully, Eustace turns back into a boy after seeing Aslan. Aslan takes off his million layers of dragon skin so Eustace can bathe in the well. Eustace tells everyone his story. They board the ship and encounter a great sea serpent.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader, ctd.

Eustace, Lucy, Edmund and Caspian spot the great sea serpent, who is very dumb, and push it away to get the ship free. At Goldwater Island/Deathwater Island, Edmund tells them to step away from the water because the water turns the things that it touches into gold. Caspian doesn't want people to know about the island. They unfortunately come under a spell that makes them forget things, so they don't have much to tell Drinian.
