Dragon's Breath (Tales Of The Frog Princess #2)
by E D Baker (Author)
Emma and Eadric have no sooner turned back into humans (from being frogs) than Emma's mother is in a panic, Aunt Grassina is distracted because she's found her true love turned into an otter, and Emma's magic is so out of control she sends herself to the dungeon by mistake.
The neighboring kingdom has chosen this moment to attack, and if Emma can't get Grassina's mind back on protecting the kingdom, life as they know it in Greater Greensward will be in peril. From underwater sea monsters to fire-breathing dragons, this witty pair of young friends manages to sweet-talk, cajole, and race their way to victory.
But when it looks as if everything will finally work out, disaster strikes, and Emma finds that magic is not enough-it takes real bravery and a strong, new friendship to succeed.

A rollicking sequel to The Frog Princess (2002) does not disappoint. Emeralda-Emma-discovers that now that she and Eadric have turned back into people again, they revert to frogginess whenever Emma sneezes. That's only the beginning, though. Emma's Aunt Grassina, the Green Witch, is utterly distracted by having her beloved turned into an otter by her own mother, Emma's utterly unsuitable grandmother. Emma's mother Chartreuse, who has no magic, needs Grassina to defend the kingdom, although she can spare time to snipe at her daughter, sister, and mother. Eadric, when he isn't eating, gamely goes along with Emma on her quest to help Grassina reverse the spell and save the otter and the kingdom. A talking, rhyming sword, a very young dragon, and a lot of cranky old witches are a few of the delights of this tale that manages to be both fast-paced and rambling. Don't miss the red hooded cloak lined with wolf fur among the dragon's treasure. (Fantasy. 8-12)

Review quotes
"As tasty as its prequel, this romantic confection ends with several ingenious twists . . . A treat." —School Library Journal
"As magically adventurous as fantasy can get." —VOYA
"Dragon's Breath continues the tradition of feisty princesses who turn the normal fantasy clichés inside-out. Self-aware and independent, Emma is a heroine to root for, the sort who never gives up." —Science Fiction Chronicle
