The Search for the Red Dragon
The Search for the Red Dragon | James A. Owen
"'The Crusade has begun'... "There's an old myth in the Archipelago," he went on softly, shaking his head. "A legend, really...I recall it mentioned a Crusade, but those events happened seven centuries ago. We always thought it was only a story." It has been nine years since John, Jack, and Charles had their great adventure in the Archipelago of Dreams and became the Caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica. Now they have been brought together again to solve a mystery: Someone is kidnapping the children of the Archipelago. And their only clue is a mysterious message delivered by a strange girl with artificial wings: "The Crusade has begun." Worse, they discover that all of the legendary Dragonships have disappeared as well. The only chance they have to save the world from a centuries-old plot is to seek out the last of the Dragonships -- the Red Dragon -- in a spectacular journey that takes them from Sir James Barrie's Kensington Gardens to the Underneath of the Greek Titans of myth. With friends both familiar and new, they will travel through an extraordinary landscape where history, myth, and fable blend together to tell the oldest story in the world. And along the way, the Caretakers of the Geographica will discover that great deeds alone do not make heroes, and that growing up may be unavoidable...but growing old doesn't have to be.

Snow all over Ontario this morning and it's still coming down. I'm not ready. Going to have to wear my boots when I go out again later for work.

Just started this book, but so far it's as charming as the first story.

Jeannineth We are expecting 87f today. I‘m reading A Nearly Normal Family. 5y
brilliantglow @Jeannineth I'm sorry, 87 feet of snow? How the hell is that possible my god 5y
brilliantglow @Jeannineth omg I'm dumb. I just realized you probably meant Fahrenheit not feet. I have no idea what that is. 87 sounds way hot too me. Lol it's currently only -1 here so even though it's snowing it's not actually very cold. 5y

Reviewsbylola We‘ve got snow in the forecast today but I won‘t believe it until I see it. 🤣🤣 5y
brilliantglow @Reviewsbylola did you end up getting any? We're supposed to get another 15cm tonight 5y
Reviewsbylola The rain turned into light snow for about an hour or two this afternoon but it was light and didn‘t stick, thank god! 5y
brilliantglow @Reviewsbylola ah a blessed day for sure. I hope the snow holds off for you. 5y
Jeannineth @brilliantglow yes I was lazy and didn‘t want to spell out degrees Fahrenheit. Lol. I live in Southern California and we have summer weather still here even though it‘s fall. I don‘t really mind though. 5y
brilliantglow @Jeannineth lol I'm pretty sure your winter weather would still be considered summer/spring weather here. I hate the snow and it gets too hot/humid here in the summer for me. The fall is my favourite but it seems to be coming to an end early this year. 5y

These books are so much fun! I love the blending of classic kid's stories with mythology.
