Reunited once more, young Alexander Cold and his best friend,
Nadia, embark upon a new adventure, following Alex's frighteningly
fearless journalist grandmother Kate to a forbidden kingdom hidden
away in the frosty peaks of the Himalayas. They seek the fabled
Golden Dragon--a sacred statue and priceless oracle coveted by a
greedy and powerful outsider. To prevent the desecration of the
holy relic, they will need the help of a sage Buddhist monk, his
young royal disciple, and a fierce tribe of Yeti warriors. But even
the mystical power of their totemic animal spirits may not be
enough to save the teenagers and this remote world from the
destructive encroachment of "civilization."
Kingdom of the Golden Dragon is the second book in a remarkable
trilogy by internationally acclaimed author Isabel Allende.
