The Dragon of Never-Was, by Ann Downer, is the sequel to Hatching Magic. In this story, Theodora and her father visit the Scottish island of Scornsay, where her father is to study a mysterious scale that a young boy found. Is it a dragon scale? Or is it just some strange animal that humans have not yet discovered? While they are there, Theodora begins to grow into her magical powers. She also meets two new friends, Colin and Catriona, who help her explore the island and discover some of its ancient mysteries. I liked this story a lot. I especially liked William, Theodora's ghostly puppy familiar, and the funny domestic scenes of Merlin taking care of Vyrna, the dragon hatchling who was left behind in the previous book.
