Always be polite to dragons! That's what Daystar's mother, Queen Cimorene, taught him . . . and it's a very wise lesson?one that might just help him after his mom hands him a magic sword and kicks him out of the house. But the tricky part is figuring out what he's supposed to do with the magic sword. Where is he supposed to go? And why does everyone he meets seem to know who he is? Luckily, a particularly hotheaded fire-witch, a very verbose lizard, and a badly behaved baby dragon help him figure it all out. New and old fans will delight in this wonderful repackaged edition that includes a new introduction by the author. AGES: 10-13 AUTHOR: Patricia C. Wrede has written many novels, including all four books in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles as well as 'Sorcery and Cecilia', 'The Grand Tour', and 'The Mislaid Magician', co-written with Caroline Stevermer.
