Description
Miss Lotty (and Lotta Scales) return in this witty sequel to the beloved classic The Library Dragon from award-winning author and storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy.
“It’s better than a library,” chirped Mike Krochip. “It’s Media World! The new Sunrise Cybrary!”
In this sequel to The Library Dragon, Miss Lotty is finally checking herself out of the Sunrise Elementary School Library, but not before Lotta Scales makes one final, fiery appearance.
After 557 years of faithful service, Miss Lotty is retiring from guarding books. But on her very last day, disaster strikes! Someone has ordered to have all the books removed from the library and replaced with machines! It’s enough to make Lotty feel a little…dragon-like. When she bursts into a fiery rage, will anything make her shed her scales again?
Best-selling author Carmen Agra Deedy’s timely and humorous tale is paired with Michael P. White’s lively illustrations to create an unforgettable sequel with an important message for librarians and students alike.
Reviews
“Eye-catching airbrush art…allows readers to enjoy additional searches for humor in twisted book titles, spoofs on tech terminology, and plot or text similarities with the fiery original. Written with a love for the printed word that spreads to quotes on endpapers, this title will find a following with Miss Lotty’s fans.” ―School Library Journal
“An entertaining read… White’s brightly colored, squashed and squiggly full-bleed illustrations match the tale for good goofiness. Pro-book and library quotes on the endpapers and multiple punny book titles in the illustrations add an extra touch of fun.” ―Kirkus Reviews
