      This sequel to The Dragon and the Stone (2022) reunites readers with tween hero Lily, reformed bully Adam, and talking dragon Cedric. Lily has been home for a few months following an adventure in which she was whisked away to the Somnium Realm to save her father. However, she's having trouble settling down in her normal life: All she daydreams of is seeing some more mythical creatures. When she accidently brings a papier-m�ch� pterodactyl to life in art class, the latest in a series of such mishaps, Adam decides that things are starting to get out of hand. In fact, new student Keisha was a witness to what happened and, seeking more excitement, ends up joining Lily and Adam in their next mission after Cedric arrives requesting help and bearing news of the disappearance of Prince Pax and a lethal illness taking over the Realm. The trio encounters an enormous white bear; arctic foxes pulling a sled; majestic, shimmering swans; and more magical creatures throughout their journey. A shipwreck, a witch, and a trek through an ash-filled canyon add to the high stakes in this ever evolving fantasy world. Lily is appealing as a strong, smart, fearless protagonist in this story that is both whimsical and thought-provoking as it explores themes of hope and trust. Lily and Adam read as White; Keisha is cued as Black. An action-packed fantasy. (Fantasy. 9-12)
