Lynch team up again for a quest story of knights, dark magic, and a maiden with powers of her own. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStudious Prince Lir is next in line to become the Wolfhound King, but he can't ride a horse, lift a sword, or summon the fabled wolfhounds. So his stepmother decrees that her own son will inherit the crown instead, sending Lir away on a seemingly impossible--and assuredly fatal--quest: to rescue the maiden Cethlenn from the once-fearsome dragon Lasvarg. Rather than wage battle, Lir insists that Lasvarg, now decidedly past his prime, honor tradition by setting him three tasks to perform--starting with tackling the mold encrusting the dragon's cave (and his feet!). As Lir improves Lasvarg's life, he also grows closer to Cethlenn . . . as well as the wolfhound puppy strangely devoted to her. In time, they learn more of the dark magic that may be making pawns of them all--and how Cethlenn herself could be the key to breaking a spell that clouds the entire kingdom. With transporting language and a magnificent dragon masterfully rendered with a range of emotions, Eoin Colfer and P.J. Lynch make their own magic in this classic fantasy with a light feminist twist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eoin Colfer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536229997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536229998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/04\/2023","brand":"Eoin Colfer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133556224255,"sku":"9781536229998","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21f2eba8-9a3b-43c0-abcf-c2b57be9e948.jpg?v=1687486831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-tasks-for-a-dragon-eoin-colfer-9781536229998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
