Ember Spark and the Thunder of Dragons opens the series as Ember, eager for excitement beyond her ordinary school life, is recruited by Rusty Fizzbang alongside her unlikely friend Arno. Together they track down a baby dragon whose parents have mysteriously vanished, all while staying one step ahead of the scheming villain Jasper Hornswoggle and the school bullies who make her days difficult. The story balances genuine peril with humor and heart, letting Ember discover her own courage and the value of trusting her friends when danger rises. Ember Spark and the Frost Phoenix continues Ember's apprenticeship as she follows a baby frost phoenix north to the Arctic Circle, where new landscapes and clever creatures test her resolve. There she uncovers a growing threat to the migrating Neverwhales and must use everything she has learned to protect them, all while Jasper Hornswoggle tracks her across the frozen north. Illustrated throughout by Kristina Kister, both books combine short chapters and lively pacing ideal for growing fantasy fans. Both books stand on their own but reward readers who follow Ember's journey from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo paperback adventures from the bestselling author of Sky Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDragons, a frost phoenix, and other magical creatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort chapters for growing fantasy-reading confidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brave heroine whose growth spans both books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout by Kristina Kister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great gift for birthdays, holidays, or classroom libraries, ages 8-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEmber Spark and the Thunder of Dragons — Ember and Arno join Rusty Fizzbang to rescue a missing baby dragon while dodging villain Jasper Hornswoggle.\u003cbr\u003e\nEmber Spark and the Frost Phoenix — Ember follows a baby frost phoenix north to save the migrating Neverwhales from a growing Arctic threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbi Elphinstone is a British author known for imaginative middle-grade fantasy, including the bestselling Sky Song and The Unmapped Chronicles series.
