City of Speed (Battle Dragons #2) by Alex London - ADVISABLE

 City of Speed (Battle Dragons #2) by Alex London, 272 pages. Scholastic, 2022. $18. 

Content: PG (danger and fighting) 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

13yo Abel and his siblings are in dire trouble again. After an incident at the dragon races, his sister Luna is on the run and Silas, their brother who works for the secret police, is out to catch her. He will only keep her safe is Abel will help him crack a dragon-napping ring. Abel is forced to enter illegal dragon races in order infiltrate or expose those who are genetically manipulating dragons. 

Fast-paced and full of danger. The mix of dragons and racing is heady. I am hoping that book three (should there be one) will have all the dragons being freed – because the way they are treated by humans is disgusting! I do love Abel’s new dragon – great attitude and amazing skills.
