Gr 4–6—Dragons, dinosaurs, magic, and a search for missing parents blend together to create a dynamic, addictive follow-up to The Voyage to Magical North. This second installment brings back Brine, Peter, and Tom as they look for Western Island, home to dragons, and try to solve some rather big mysteries along the way. Fans of the first book will be thrilled with the continuing story, which once again features the ghost of Marfak West, the big bad villain from the previous adventure who haunts poor Peter. This title is full of swashbuckling escapades and crazy circumstances that will hold the attention of fans and new readers alike; even those not familiar with the first volume will be able to jump in easily.
VERDICT A solid addition to middle grade collections; be sure to hand this to fans of fantasy and pirate stories.
