Muncle is now the Wiseman of all the Giants. But there is a problem, its not official, yet. So he still isn't getting the respect he deserves. That’s an even bigger problem because Muncle is the only one who knows their warm mountain home, is really a volcano about to erupt! With Emily’s help, Muncle must help his people learn to ride their dragons, who in turn must learn how to fly first!

I was excited to see how this story would progress and now its looking like a 3rd book is hinted at. This series has only grown on me more. It’s a perfect read for 2nd graders! I would still really like to see some artwork that makes the story look more mysterious and intriguing, rather than adorably cheesy. At least at my school, books with similar artwork are not favored without some serious booktalking.
