From the Publisher
Emma and Eadric have no sooner turned back into humans (from being frogs) than Emma's mother is in a panic, Aunt Grassina is distracted because she's found her true love turned into an otter, and Emma's magic is so out of control she sends herself to the dungeon by mistake. The neighboring kingdom has chosen this moment to attack, and if Emma can't get Grassina's mind back on protecting the kingdom, life as they know it in Greater Greensward will be in peril. From underwater sea monsters to fire-breathing dragons, this witty pair of young friends manages to sweet-talk, cajole, and race their way to victory. But when it looks as if everything will finally work out, disaster strikes, and Emma finds that magic is not enough-it takes real bravery and a strong, new friendship to succeed.
Reviews
"A rollicking sequel [that] does not disappoint." — Kirkus Reviews
"As tasty as its prequel, this romantic confection ends with several ingenious twists . . . A treat." — School Library Journal
"As magically adventurous as fantasy can get. . .Talking bats, a Dragon Olympics, and a fitful flying carpet are some of the charming ingredients in this fast-moving, inventive coming-of-(witch)age sequel to Bakers The Frog Princess." — VOYA
"Dragon's Breath continues the tradition of feisty princesses who turn the normal fantasy clichés inside-out. Self-aware and independent, Emma is a heroine to root for, the sort who never gives up. Her stubbornness and temper give her just enough fallibility to make her tolerable, and her constant bickering/relationship with Prince Eadric is, dare I use the term, charming. I'm confident we'll see more of Emma and Eadric, and I couldn't be happier." — Science Fiction Chronicle
