As this young adult fantasy series continues, a princess must join forces with the king of the Enchanted Forest to find a missing dragon.Cimorene, the princess who refuses to be proper, is back—but where is Kazul the dragon? That's what Cimorene is determined to find out! This updated edition features a new introduction by the author and fantastic new packaging.“Wrede's tongue-in-cheek humor balances well with sweet adolescent discovery, and the result is another winning chapter in a delightful tale.”—School Library Journal“Sensible princess Cimorene meets sensible king Mendanbar of the Enchanted Forest, and they sensibly decide to get married—but not before each mistakes the other for those greatest of twits, the pompous hero and the simpering princess…This sequel to revisionist-fabulist Wrede's Dealing with Dragons (1990) is as sprightly as the original…A refreshing romp.”—Kirkus Reviews“Dealing as it does with dragon-napping and magic-stealing, this sequel…puts a whimsical spin on familiar fairy-tale elements.”—Publishers Weekly

"<strong>An even greater enjoyment that the first volume </strong><br/><br/>So often a series starts off strong, gets a bit weary, gets a breath of fresh air near the end, then either finishes with a bang or a whimpers.<br/>I am only half way done with this series, but as much as I loved volume 1, volume 2 was even greater because of the great combination of the two leads.<br/>It was a tiny bit sad that dragons were so little active in the story but other than that, I loved the king, the magician, the head cook, the witch and the other auxillary characters.<br/>I was expecting a bit of nonsense from the wizards, but was happy that the end wasn't interrupted."
Larry Virden
"So good!"
