About The Book A great drought has hit Nockquan, the Kingdom of Dragons.  King Rodney, the Ice Dragon, and his daughter, Princess Jada, must journey to the north for survival to escape the deadly heat and lack of water until the land returns to normal.  Unfortunately, this means leaving the kingdom behind in the care of Rodney's son, Simmer.  While in the north, Rodney and Jada receive word that their homeland is being threatened by a powerful army of Great Fire Dragons.  Only their unique ice breath will be able to put the fires out, but they cannot fight the battle alone.  Luckily, with the help of the Almighty One's plan, there is a chance...  Rodney, The Ice Dragon II, Saving Nockquan teaches ten more important life lessons for children of all ages.

About The Author Cortney is a fifteen-year-old high school sophomore and is the youngest of six children. She loves to write and illustrate about animals (including dragons). She has a special love and concern for people who are oppressed and underprivileged (like Rodney). She has learned much about art and expanded her talents under the schooling of Lena DiGangi's Gallery in Totowa, NJ.   Regarding her first book "Rodney, The Ice Dragon", Cortney writes: "Dragons have filled my imagination for years. I enjoy drawing these beautiful, powerful creatures soaring through the air and breathing fire. One day, in eighth grade, I drew a picture of a young dragon watching a butterfly (which is now the cover of this book). I brought it to school and showed my science teacher. She was amazed and even suggested that I create a children's book. Inspired, I immediately began to write a storyline. Just the idea of publishing a children's book was enough to get me started. I decided to make my little dragon unique.   The easiest way to do this was to make him a different color from all of the other dragons that would be in the story. I figured that blue would be a good color, and I also thought that it would be a neat idea to have him breathe ice. On the other hand, the fire breathing dragons would be red. I thought of a name for him. The first name to pop into my head was Lightning Rod, but it didn't work for a blue dragon. I took the 'Rod' part of it. That's how I came up with the name 'Rodney'. The names 'Nockquan' and 'Draug Roloc', which appear in the story, have a special meaning to me, but that is a secret."   For background and additional information on Rodney the Ice Dragon and author and illustrator, Cortney Wisbauer, go to rodneytheicedragon.com.

I met the author and invited her to come and chat with some of my 4th & 5th grade students. She was wonderful, captured the audience and mesmerized them all. The students wanted to know if there will be a sequel to Rodney and they had plenty of ideas to share......
