In this hilarious fantasy adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of the Story Thieves series,a girl strikes a deal with the ancientcranky dragon she accidentally summoned to teach her the forbidden magic she needs to save her mother. The spellbinding first edition paperback of The Dragon’s Apprentice features colored edges with a special dragon design! STOP. DonΓÇÖt read any further. There are magic spells in this bookand the Emperor has forbidden anyone from learning magicbecause itΓÇÖs way too dangerous! If you try one of the spellsany number of terrible things might happen (or so the Emperor says). DonΓÇÖt be like Ciaraa twelve-year-old girl living in the tiny village of Skael. When she used a spell from within this bookshe ended up summoning a dragon. A DRAGON! Those things breathe fire! From their mouths! SheΓÇÖs obviously doomed. And donΓÇÖt listen if Ciara tells you that dragons wonΓÇÖt hurt humansand that they even once taught us magica thousand years ago. Definitely donΓÇÖt pay any attention to the fact that the dragon she summonedScorchmight be willing to help rescue CiaraΓÇÖs mother and free her village from the Emperor and his Wardenbecause itΓÇÖs all obviously a big lie. So put this book downand forget about it. Magic is just way too dangerous. After allyou wouldnΓÇÖt want to summon your own dragonwould you?
