Book Description
Raise the drawbridge for a story-within-a-story melding classic fairy-tale trappings with contemporary, tongue-in-cheek wit, abundantly illustrated in black-and-white—a perfect family read. Noble children Thomas and Emily have always known their mother to be sensible, the lady of the castle—if anything, a bit boring. But then they discover Meg, a cranky scribe who lives in the castle basement, leading a quirky group of artists in producing party invitations and other missives for the nobles above. Meg claims that she was a friend of their mother’s back when the two were kids—even before the dragon lived in the castle. Wait—a dragon? Not sure they can believe Meg’s tales, the kids return again and again to hear the evolving, fantastical story of their mother’s escapades (while putting their fussiest penmanship to work) and get caught up in a quest to reunite the onetime friends. Kidnapping, fighting, a ferocious dragon, loyal elves, and true love . . . coupled with squabbling siblings, archery practice gone amiss, and ill-fated dives into the moat . . . This multilayered story blends adventure and humor, medieval tropes and modern sensibility, in a satisfying read for the whole family.

You would think that once you got to know another world things would be easier, right? Wrong. Things do not get easier because you know about another world hidden within your own.

Try planning a wedding for your two best friends, having a ball with it, and then being closed off as the Mystic Realm invades your world, shrouding it in mystery. It is bad enough that Connie and Sam get married, but then they refuse to tell me where they are honeymooning. Now I have to go back to Prince Rupert and deal with a whisperer-deprived dragon and my lunatic family who refuses to let me pursue my dancing career. The insanity does not stop there, though. No, there is also a witch, a mage, a long lost father, and two childhood friends who enter the scene. My name is Judith Elizabeth Bachor. I am confident, intimidating and I know how to get the information I need. Because I am aware of the Mystic Realm, I am defined as a knower a dragons human, and youre about to read my story. Will you let others dictate your worth and limit your options, or will you take control and create your own way in life?
