Illustrated by
Mary GrandPré.
Winnie is newly enrolled in a magic academy. But Nanette, niece of Winnie's dragon-caretaker's "self-proclaimed rival," is also attending--and proclaims herself Winnie's rival. Lighthearted episodes of unusual lessons and field trips, illustrated by winsome spot art, are grounded by more serious encounters with Winnie's grandfather's goons in this buoyant second entry (A Dragon's Guide to the Care and Feeding of Humans).
