Barnes & Noble is thrilled to welcome award-winning author and illustrator Svetlana Chmakova to celebrate the release of her latest graphic novel for middle grade readers: The Weirn Books Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon! Join us at our Natick location for drawing demo and signing.
Just in time for Spooky Season The Weirn Books Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon takes readers back to Chmakova’s supernatural world full of magic adventure and… dragons! After her terrible adventures in the Silent Woods Na’ya’s world seems to have returned to normal… that is except for the nightmares that keep haunting her. What she needs is the power to protect everyone and she has the perfect solution—she’ll turn into a dragon once and for all! With help from Ailis and Jasper everything seems to be going according to plan. But what’s that dark shadow slithering around the spell-casting range?
