Tiger's Blood: The Tiger's Apprentice, Book Two (The Tiger's Apprentice)
Grade 5-8 - In this sequel toThe Tiger's Apprentice, Tom and his friends flee to the underwater Dragon Kingdom. There they hope to be safe from Vatten and his followers who seek to steal the egg of the phoenix from Mr. Hu, its appointed guardian and Tom's teacher. Because of Mr. Hu's failing health, Tom continues his apprentice studies with the dragons, learning their lore, along with several giggle-inducing tries at magic spells. When the egg is stolen, Tom has suspicions that Mistral may be involved. He must decide if he can trust her and the other dragons as well as find the egg at great risk to his own life. Intrigue abounds, and the descriptions of the dragons' palace will have readers wishing they could visit it themselves. Those who have waited for the second book in the series will not be disappointed. Those who haven't read the first one may find themselves a bit lost, but expect them to remedy the situation by reading it and then asking when the third book is due out.- Ginny Collier, Dekalb County Public Library, Chamblee, GACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
