Three adventurous children find further intrigue on the tiny Maine island where a talkative three-headed dragon peacefully lives out its days and the power of storytelling reigns supreme. With their parents off to London on a special trip, Hannah, Zachary, and Sarah Emily are thrilled to be going back to Aunt Mehitabel's house on Lonely Island. Though their favorite aunt can't join them, they know their tummies will soon be filled with Mrs. Jone's mouth-watering cookies and their minds full of Fafnyr, the fabulous creature they befriended last summer. A glittering three-headed dragon who loves to tell stories and has a memory spanning 20,000 years, Fafnyr remains safely hidden in a cave high above the ocean, waiting for the children to return. But is Fafnyr's hiding place safe? As the children nervously discover, a white yacht is now anchored off the private island, and a crew led by billionaire J.P. King has been scouring onshore, supposedly watching birds. Could he possibly be searching for a far rarer and more unusual specimen? The children have promised to keep Fafnyr's existense a secret, but it's hard to know if the smooth-talking Mr. King is friend or foe. Only Fafnyr's own stories can lead the Dragon Friends to the heart of the mystery, as they teach the children to think more clearly, to make the right decisions - and to discover what is truly worth fighting for.
This is a wonderful story. It is basically a collection of tales told by the dragon to it's young visitors. There are lessons in each story. I found that my children were very engaged by the story and took to the lessons with relish. Who wouldn't love to be taught by a dragon? Rebbeca Rupp is a gem. I hope she writes more like this.
Fantastic Sequel

My 9yr old girl, 10yr old boy and I were thrilled when we found out that Rebecca Rupp had written a sequel to Dragon of Lonely Island. The original had been one of their favorites for a couple of years. We are currently reading it together and it is just as wonderful as the first. It is still imaginative, it is still appropriate for children, and it has even better lessons than the first one did. I truly enjoy reading this book with my children and they truly love hearing the dragon's stories.

This book is a sequel to The Dragon of Lonely Island. The book is about a three-headed dragon that tells stories. In this book, a billionaire tries to capture the dragon and take him away. It is an exciting book and a little funny. It is almost as good as the first book, but I like the first one a little better. I would recommend these books to everyone. Boys and girls would both like this book because the characters are both boys and girls. These books are so good that I read them both in two days.
