title: Dragon Captives (The Unwanteds Quests)
author:  Lisa McMann 
description: Gr 47Now they have done it. Twelve-year-old twins Thisbe and Fifer have defied their brother, Alex, leader of the magical land Artim, in a most spectacular way. They have jumped on the back of an ice blue dragon with their best friend Seth to build new wings for the creature, Hux, and his siblings. Thisbe and Fifer might have the most powerful magic of anyone, but untrained (their brother has forbidden them to learn magic) and untested, they are unprepared for the land of dragonsa place of slaves and slave traders, where even dragons are cruelly held captive by the powerful Revinir. Thisbe and Fifer soon find their unique jet black eyes make them the most valuable possession of all. Not even the flying stone cat Simber, whom readers will remember from previous "Unwanteds" books, can save them. Artim has been at peace for 10 years, and a new generation of children only hear stories about the danger and violence that took place when the islands were in turmoil. No one wants to return to that time, but there might be little choice. McMann has created another heart-racing adventure. Fans of the series will jump right in to see how their favorite characters have grown and what will happen next in this well-crafted world. The ending, which leaves both girls' lives hanging in the balance, guarantees continued quests for this new generation of Unwanteds. VERDICT A worthy title, recommended for any collection in which the original series was popular.Clare A. Dombrowski, Amesbury Public Library, MA
