Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9-- Another installment in Wrede's appealing fantasy series, this title will be best appreciated by those already familiar with her cast of characters and their previous adventures. However, those who first encounter Queen Cimorene, King Mendenbar, Morwen (an untypical witch), and Telemain (a very verbose magician), along with their various animal friends and familiars in this book will certainly be inspired to seek out Dealing with Dragons (1990) and Searching for Dragons (1991, both Harcourt). Once again the problem is wizards: they're draining the Enchanted Forest of its magic and, worse, they've invaded the castle and stolen Mendenbar's magical sword. The quest to retrieve it and restore the Enchanted Forest is filled with adventure, peril, and humor, despite the fact that the bulk of the story takes place in only a few days. Wrede's strengths are numerous: sparkling dialogue, amusingly fractured fairy-tale conventions, solid characterization, plenty of action, and truly terrific chapter headings. Both her vocabulary and her sense of humor are pleasingly sophisticated, making this a fun and challenging read. The end result is a captivating and convincing fantasy that sets the stage (and whets the appetite) for future adventures. --Lisa Dennis, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

From AudioFile
Rich characters and multifaceted plots are hallmarks of Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles. The newly crowned Queen Cimorene; Morwen, the witch; Telemain, the magician; Kazul, King of the Dragons; and an array of cats pool their resources to confront the wizards who threaten the integrity of the Enchanted Forest. A full-cast recording is the perfect solution for presenting such an intense, rich, and involved story. Distinctive character voices enable the listener to differentiate the players quickly and focus intensely on their adventures. Devotion to the development of one or two characters affords each cast member opportunities for depth and playfulness. Listen intently to the end of the recording; the epilogue suggests a power struggle to come! A.R. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
