Description

In this highly anticipated sequel to New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honor–winning author Tony DiTerlizzi’s Kenny and the Dragon, Kenny must cope with many changes in his life—including the fear that he’s losing his best friend. Time has passed since Kenny Rabbit’s last adventure with his best friend, the legendary dragon Grahame, and a lot has changed in the sleepy village of Roundbrook. Kenny has new siblings, his friends are at different schools, and Sir George is off adventuring. When Dante, a legendary manticore and an old friend of Grahame’s, arrives, Kenny feels left out as the old friends spend a lot of time together. However, a new adventure arises with a Witch to defeat, a pal to rescue, and a mysterious book to unlock, and Kenny realizes that such quests are meant for best friends, not just old friends.
