In this second in the "Secret of the Storm" series, Cassie, Joe, Cassie's mom and Miss Asher, the librarian, are all set to enter the Dragon World to save Albert. Instead Albert comes back to their world, and seems to be on a mission to find someone who will help him save his mother. The quest leads them to a dragon festival in another state where they make new friends and avoid old enemies. Meanwhile, Cassie's ability to control the glitter power she received from Albert is improving which is a good thing, because they will need all the friends and powers they can get if they are to save Albert's mother.
Sometimes when I am between holds, I just go through the books I have already read and look for the next in the series. That is what happened here. The second in the series does a good job of advancing the story of the first. There are new characters to meet and new adventures to be had. This is not likely to be an award winner, but I think there are a lot of 4th and 5th graders, or even younger children who are confident readers, who would enjoy this series. (272 p. 2023)
