Bookroo's summary

Kenny Rabbit faces a whirlwind of change in Roundbrook. With his dragon friend Grahame distracted by an old manticore companion, Kenny feels left out. But when a Witch threatens and a mysterious book beckons, Kenny must decide if these are quests for best friends or if he's truly been replaced. Can he reclaim his place by Grahame's side, or will the past overshadow their bond? Adventure, friendship, and courage collide as Kenny navigates this new chapter.

From the publisher

In this highly anticipated sequel to New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honor-winning author Tony DiTerlizzi’s Kenny and the Dragon, Kenny must cope with many changes in his life–including the fear that he’s losing his best friend. What can come between two best friends? Time has passed since Kenny Rabbit’s last adventure with his best friend, the legendary dragon Grahame, and a lot has changed in the sleepy village of Roundbrook. For starters, Kenny has a whole litter of baby sisters. His friends are at different schools and Sir George is off adventuring. At least Kenny still has his very best friend, Grahame. That’s before Dante arrives. Dante is a legendary manticore and an old friend of Grahame’s. Old friends spend a lot of time catching up. And that catching up does not involve Kenny. But there’s a Witch to defeat, a pal to rescue, and a mysterious book to unlock. And those are quests for best friends, not old friends. Right?
