Searching for Dragons by Particia C. Wrede
Grump! All the helpful tools are gone from my "create post". No link insertion, no bold, no italics, no spellcheck!
Searching For Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede is second (of four) in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. The books can be read separately and even out of order because they have clear plots and nicely developed characters in each book; linking the books as a series just makes a more complete and fun read.
In all four books stereotypes are broken by showing that not all (fill in the blank) are like (fill in stereotype) therefore the generalization is false.
What made a huge burned hole in the Enchanted Forest and what did the Dragons have to do with it? King Mendanbar sets out to solve the mystery which is complicated by the advice and information the head Wizard gives him.
Lots of fun!
I would recommend this book to the following people I know: a 12 year old girl, a 9 year old girl, an 8 year old girl, a 3rd grade boy who loved Boots and the Seven Leaguers by Jane Yolen, and two teeachers of classes of 1-3rd graders.
