Land of Dragons — Beth McMullen

Seekers of the Wild Realm meets My Diary from the Edge of the World in this second “lively adventure tale” (Booklist) in the heartwarming and witty middle grade Secret of the Storm series from author of Mrs. Smith's Spy School for Girls, Beth McMullen!

When twelve-year-old Cassie found a small, abandoned kitten by a dumpster, she never dreamed that taking little Albert home would change her life forever. And she certainly never imagined that Albert would turn out to be a dragon in disguise. All she wants now is to keep Albert safe, but in trying to protect him from ill-intentioned humans, she's accidentally just sent him back to Vayne, the dragon king who is hunting him.

With the help of Joe, her mom, and Miss Asher, Cassie sets off on a quest: find Albert, and find somewhere he'll be safe. But in the process, she learns more about the prophecy that's put him in danger -- Albert, with the help of a second dragon, will overthrow Vayne and bring peace to the dragon world. Who is this second dragon? And how exactly can Albert save anyone when he's being hunted in two different dimensions?

Braving new enemies, unlikely allies, and strange new powers, Cassie is determined to help her kitten -- even if it takes her into the Land of Dragons itself.
