Patricia C. Wrede Searching for Dragons
Point Fantasy 0590457217 / 9780590457217 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK Fair
0590457217 From Publishers Weekly nDealing as it does with dragon-napping and magic-stealing, this sequel to Dealing with Dragons puts a whimsical spin on familiar fairy-tale elements. Ages 12-up. nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. n nFrom School Library Journal nGrade 5-9-In this lighthearted tale of dragon-napping and magic gone awry, Princess Cimorene, a feisty young girl who craves more adventure than palace life has to offer, runs away to live in an enchanted forest. There, she serves as Chief Cook and Librarian to Kazul, leader of the dragons. When an unsavory group of wizards captures Kazul, Cimorene joins forces with the unpretentious King Mendanbar. Together they set out to rescue Kazul and the dragon kingdom. This second book (Harcourt, 1991) in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series continues Patricia C. Wrede's Dealing with Dragons (Harcourt, 1990). However, each book can stand on its own quite well. In this full cast production, the pace is perfect and the delivery is superb. Mike Dirksen and Lauren Singer give especially fine performances as King Mendanbar and Princess Cimorene. Fantasy lovers will not be disappointed in the recorded version of this charming tale. nCeleste Steward, Contra Costa County Library, Clayton, CA nCopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Patricia C. Wrede Searching for Dragons: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book Two
Sandpiper 0152045651 / 9780152045654 PAPERBACK Very Good
0152045651 From Publishers Weekly nDealing as it does with dragon-napping and magic-stealing, this sequel to Dealing with Dragons puts a whimsical spin on familiar fairy-tale elements. Ages 12-up. nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. n nFrom School Library Journal nGrade 5-9-- First the good news. The fun continues. The bad news? It continues without the fierce benign presence of Kazul, King of the Dragons, for at least 90 percent of the book. The no-nonsense sisterhood of the Princess Cimorene and her unwilling captor, Kazul, was one of the delights of Dealing with Dragons (HBJ, 1990). In compensation, however, readers are introduced to Mendanbar, King of the Enchanted Forest. Very much still a callow youth, he imposes his preference for the simple, active life on his new role as king, disappointing his steward, the elf Willin, who has anticipated a resumption of pomp and formality. The discovery of a patch in the Enchanted Forest laid waste by wizards starts him on a quest that soon leads him to Cimorene. The two join forces to find the missing Kazul, and begin a series of misadventures that include riding a defective magic carpet decorated with pink bears, melting several wizards with Cimorene's infallible formula of soapy water and lemon juice, and advising a giant who is bored with pillaging to go into the consulting business. Wrede's tongue-in-cheek humor balances well with sweet adolescent discovery, and the result is another winning chapter in a delightful tale. --Sally T. Margolis, Park Ridge Public Library, IL nCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
