Product Description
From Booklist
Gr. 6-9. The sequel to The Crouching Dragon (1999) is a curious mix--part political thriller, part historical novel, and part travelogue, complete with endpaper maps of Paris and an assortment of black-and-white drawings. With the help of a grateful President de Gaulle, William and Louise, protagonists in the first book, travel to Paris, where they enroll in school, study judo, and learn to fly. They also join Clandestin, a group of children whose parents were WW II French Resistance fighters, and soon find themselves in a desperate struggle against terrorists involved in civil war in Algeria. Their efforts take them into the sewers, catacombs, and subways of Paris and to the French National Assembly, the Elysee Palace, and Versailles. Along the way they help thwart a coup against de Gaulle and a bomb plot at a dinner for the visiting President and Mrs. Kennedy. All in all, there's a whole lot of far-fetched fun and adventure here for readers willing to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride as they wait for the next planned book. Sally Estes

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fantastically conceived and excitingly presented novel,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Raging Dragon (Hardcover)
The second book in the "Will to Conquer" series, Len Lamensdorf's The Raging Dragon is a fantastically conceived and excitingly presented novel for young adults and concerns two young people who must fight and think their way through the events of history in the 1960s. Life-threatening challenges, vicious enemies, and intrigue on the streets of Paris await young Willi and Louise, who meet with their French Resistance allies in a famous bistro called the Raging Dragon. An assassination plot against President John F. Kennedy and his wife threatens to change history, unless Willi and Louise are up to the task! Also very highly recommended is the first volume in "Will To Conquer" series, The Crouching Dragon. The third volume comprising this outstanding trilogy will be The Flying Dragon.
