the dragon with a chocolate heart book 2

With no idea about what it means to be human, the transformed Aventurine makes her way toward the city. The human mage leaves her with the advice to get to the nearest city and find a job or apprenticeship…maybe one of the Chocolate Houses will take her. Aventurine has been changed into a human.

Instead, she has a soft skin, strange furry stuff on her head, and cloth coverings instead of scales.

When she wakes up, Aventurine has no claws, no smoke in her throat, no wings. Aventurine can’t resist the wonderful aroma…she drinks deeply, and the chocolate explodes within her. Something absolutely delicious that the human is cooking over the fire! She demands to know what it is, and the human tells her “chocolate”. And that’s when she smells it…something rich, and sweet, and spicy. Unfortunately, her injured wings get in the way, and she puts a claw in the fire. When she discovers a strange human, making something over a fire, she knows exactly what that means–dinner! Aventurine pounces. Not having wings means hunting isn’t as easy as she thought, and Aventurine doesn’t like being hungry.

Perfect Citrine already has other dragons worshiping her and building her palaces for the epic poetry she writes, but Aventurine has a passion too! It’s out there…somewhere.īut how is Aventurine supposed to find out her Passion if she’s stuck in a cave? It seems to her that if she could go out in to the world, to hunt on her own, to see humans with her own eyes, she would find her Passion, and show her family!Įscaping a dragon cave isn’t difficult when you’re a small dragon, but trying to do it secretly means scraping through some tight spaces…and during her flight, Aventurine manages to injure her wings. Jasper is interested in learning, and reads every human philosophers’s book he can get his claws on. Every dragon has a Passion–the thing that gives their life meaning. Worst of all, everyone believes that she’s lazy, just because she hasn’t found her Passion yet. Even though she has her own treasure hoard, she is not allowed to leave the cave or fly, since she’s too young and her wings are untested. Getting ready for the holidays? This is a great book to share with friends and family…and if you add chocolate, it’s even better!īy Stephanie Burgis, Narrated by Jill FrutkinĪventurine is the youngest member of her family…and she hates that everyone can tell her what to do, from her only-slightly-older-brother Jasper to her know-it-all older sister Citrine to Mother and all the aunts and her Grandfather Grenat.
