What is the name of a book about a boy and girl who go into a cave on a beach and enter a world of dragons?

It was read to my 5th grade class. I believe it is now out of print. I also remember that the boy and girl become good friends with the kind, wise dragon king.

The Dragon of Lonely Island by Rebecca Rupp
Following Aunt Mehitable's advice, the children make a bee-line for Drake's Hill where, after a bit of rock climbing, they find the cave that is home to Fafnyr Goldenwings, a tri-drake. This three headed dragon, for which only one head is awake at a time, has chosen the cave on Lonely Island as a Resting Place. With a measured, erudite manner, a bit like the dragon in Kenneth Grahame's The Reluctant Dragon, Fafnyr welcomes the children into his cave, calms their fears and disperses their misguided fairy-tale notions about dragons. As a way of soothing them, he tells them a story.
The story that Fafnyr First Awake (the honorary name given to the head of the dragon that wakes first and begins to crack the shell of the dragon egg) is set in Ancient China and is about a young girl named Mei-lan. Although he is really telling a story about himself, Fafnyr does not reveal this to the children. Yet, the story he tells relates to the children and their immediate life experiences. As the First Awake, Fafnyr sympathizes with Hannah, the oldest of the siblings, and the the responsibilities that sometimes weigh on a first born. At the end of his story the sleepy dragon tells the children that he needs his rest and to please keep their meeting a secret. Upon their next visit to the cave, the children meet a different Fafnyr, a brother with a fondness for the sea who tells them the story of Jamie the orphaned cabin boy and his adventures with pirates and treasure. Again, Fafnyr's story relates to the children and a squabble over a flashlight they had been having. Finally, the children meet the Last Awake Fafnyr, the sister, who tells them the story of a little girl who was afraid to try new things. In the end, the children realize that Fafnyr is telling the story of Aunt Mahitable, how she met Fafnyr and how the tri-drake came to choose Lonely Island as it's Resting Place.
