Inside the world of Kenny & the Book of Beasts

Inside the world of Kenny & the Book of Beasts

Add to my watchlist

Grades 3 – 7

In this highly anticipated sequel to Tony DiTerlizzi’s Kenny & 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?

In Kenny and the Book of Beasts (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers), as sequel to Kenny and the Dragon, Kenny must cope with many changes in his life—including the fear that he’s losing his best friend. Time has passed since Kenny Rabbit’s last adventure with the legendary dragon Grahame, and a lot has changed in the sleepy village of Roundbrook. Kenny has a whole litter of baby sisters.

Dante is a legendary manticore and an old friend of Grahame’s — and their 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. Booklist noted that “This may be a cozy world filled with darling animals […] but the stakes are high, and the lessons on friendship, acceptance, and the dangers of prejudice are meaningful.”
