The Weirn Books #2

Four young characters press together in wide-eyed alarm as an enormous dark dragon looms behind them, its glowing eye and ghostly aura filling the cover of Svetlana Chmakova's The Weirn Books: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon #2. The title says it all — something has been taken, and the kids at the center of this story look equal parts determined and terrified about what they're up against. Published by Yen Press in 2024, this is an inviting blend of supernatural mystery and middle-grade adventure that promises plenty of heart alongside the thrills.
