Scrappy Claudette sets out once again with her pal Marie and her little brother Gaston to right wrongs and fight evil. And this time, it's personal. Claudette is out to get the dragon who ate her father's legs...and his legendary sword. But as usual, nothing is as simple as it seems, and Claudette is going to need Marie and Gaston's help more than ever.
Funny, fast, high-energy storytelling in an inventive and perilous fantasy landscape makes Dragons Beware! a fantastic follow-up to 2012's middle-grade hit Giants Beware!
"This volume contains many of the same elements that made its predecessor so successful. The art perfectly suits the tone and action and the story is smart and funny. The true strength of the series, however, lies in the characterization. Claudette is just the right amount of bold and daring, Gaston is insecure but stronger than he realizes, and Marie is going to make a wonderful princess someday. Along with a great supporting cast, complete with seven lovelorn princes all vying for Marie's attention, no character is left behind. Kids will eat up this installment and eagerly await the next series offering." -- Eric Knapp, School Library Journal
