White, Wade Albert The Adventurer’s Guide to Dragons (and Why They Keep Biting Me), 366 pgs. Little, Brown 2017. $16.99. Language: G ( 0 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content: G; Violence: G (Sword fights and battles but not at all graphic)
When Anne, Penelope and Hiro are nominated for “Best Illegal Quest that Nearly Destroyed the Entire World”, the award ceremony is overtaken by a boy and his robot guards who compel Anne into activating a new quest - but this one is even more dangerous than the last, and the Dragon Queen is in danger. Picking a fight with the dragon queen is never a good idea, sending our heroes on another “things go from bad to worse” adventure.
A continuation of the adventures from book 1 there are new characters, old friends, and complete surprises. It’s very difficult to tell the good guys from the bad guys, but the adventure is exciting, the humor is delightful and the pace will keep the pages turning. “Guide to Dragons” is better than “Successful Escapes” as the adventure starts right away and doesn’t really end, however, the reader will be in for the long haul as I’m sure there is another installment. This mix of fantasy and science fiction is an interesting use of the genres.
