Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Dealing 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.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From School Library Journal

Grade 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

This review is from: Searching for Dragons: Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book 2 (Paperback)
The main characters are The King , Mendabar who is the king of
the Enchanted Forest ,Mendabar has a magic sword that is very powerful . Cimorene is another character in the book she is the princess/Chief Cook and Librarian of the King of Dragons. Cimorene is looking for another king which is a she dragon( king of the dragons.)
The book begins with Mendabar in an old castle ,looking very sad .The king has no parties or enteraiment. He seems very depressed for some reason and he has a very bad temper .

4.0 out of 5 stars Second in the Series Doesn't Disappoint, Feb 24 2004
By Ashley Lambert-Maberly (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Searching for Dragons: Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book 2 (Paperback)
The King of the Enchanted Forest teams up with Cimorene to find a missing Kazul.

Naturally, you should read "Dealing with Dragons" first (this is the second, and almost the first's equal). Both are fun, lively, clever reads (for adults or kids), and superior to the books which follow. Wrede confounds expectations and provides a well-paced tale of adventure and magic that delights and transports--what more could you want from a book?

Note: a 3 star ranking from me is actually pretty good; I reserve 4 stars for tremendously good works, and 5 only for the rare few that are or ought to be classic; unfortunately most books published are 2 or less.

This review is from: Searching for Dragons: Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book 2 (Paperback)
This book was the seccond of the series and is, just like the others, great. This book takes you through the life of a girl living with dragons who is constantly visited by a young prince. It is great, and anyone 8 and up would LOVE it.
