The Menagerie #2: Dragon on Trial

Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Wings of Fire series, Tui T. Sutherland, and her sister, Kari Sutherland, comes the second exciting adventure in the Menagerie trilogy! Combining the magic of Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series and the charm and humor of Carl Hiaasen, The Menagerie #2: Dragon on Trial is perfect for young readers who love myths, fairy tales, and fantastic creatures. Someone or something has murdered the goose who laid the golden eggs, and the evidence points to a dragon named Scratch. Zoe and Logan are back on the case-but this mystery won't be that easy to solve....

Tui T. Sutherland & Kari Sutherland are sisters and best friends, and if you can"t tell by looking at them which one is older, Tui certainly isn"t going to tell you. They grew up in South America, traveling a lot and moving several times (and they"re still only about 80 percent certain that their parents weren"t secret agents). Kari now lives in California, while Tui lives in Boston, but they use every excuse they can to see each other (like, say, writing a book together).
