The Voice of the Wooden Dragon

By Michael Burns Haggerty

An engaging, thought-provoking, debut novel by Christie Waldman with illustrations by Lane Waldman. For middle grades/young adults.

Things were not fair in Deweydaire, a land ruled by dragons. The humans worked while the dragons played. Even though she was a dragon, Princess Meredith had taken the side of the humans. She insisted on speaking out loudly against the injustice. She'd even been leading her band of rebel dragons against her uncle, King Harold the Humble, in a war between the Red and the White Dragons. Such destruction Surely there had to be a better way of resolving their differences

How could Meredith have known that she would run afoul of her bully cousin Rupert when she went to King Harold's castle to seek a truce? Or that Rupert would use a forbidden magic to try to silence her voice forever? Somehow, with the help of her loyal friends, the intrepid Peter Porter, under-rated court jester Felix, and a little girl named Suse, she must figure out how to regain all that is rightfully hers. What holds her back? And who will listen to the Voice of the Wooden Dragon?
