Elmer’s newly freed draconic companion agrees to accompany the young lad home. But after a storm, they must rest on a deserted island where a lost avian race is cursed by an ancient buried treasure.
While not as tightly written as the previous installment, the sequel to “My Father’s Dragon” is a fun title in its own write. Not relying on chekov’s gun the whole way through does hasten the pacing a little bit. It’s great for kids.
