Before DragonSpell, on a different continent and a different time, a young emerlindian’s desperate decision threatens to disrupt the foundation of the world. Tipper has been caring for her family’s estate for years now, ever since her father disappeared, making a living by selling off his famous artwork. Then she learns that three statues she sold were carved from an ancient foundation stone, and the fabric of her reality is crumbling.  She must free her father and save the world. But she can’t do it alone. Her ragtag band of adventurers includes Beccaroon, a giant parrot; Bealomondore, an aristocratic young artist; a handsome dragonkeeper prince; the Wizard Fenworth; and the tumanhofer librarian Librettowit. Together they travel through valleys and kingdoms and consort with purveyors of good and agents of evil to find and reunite the missing statues.

FINALLY I get to read this!

I received this book for review back before Christmas (In My Mailbox – Nov 13, 2011) and was really excited.  I thought the cover and the synopsis really sounded like something the kids and I could all enjoy.  Guess I was right because after a few months of “missing” – it finally turned up under the boychild’s bed.    THANKS KIDS! =)
