In the magical town of Longbritches, cloud-making is a time-honored tradition-and one strictly reserved for men. But when an aging master falls ill and storm clouds begin to roll in from the dark, soot-stained city of Ashbottom, the fate of the skies rests in the hands of an unlikely hero: Isabel, a spirited young girl with a talent no one saw coming.

Breaking centuries of custom, Isabel crafts the most beautiful clouds Longbritches has ever seen-clouds shaped like animals, knights, and brooms that sweep the skies clean. With the help of her friends and her new role as the town's first female Cloud Master, Isabel leads a magical battle against Lady Chatsworth, a villainous mayor determined to cloak the land in endless rain and thunder. But that's only the beginning.

As her legend spreads, Isabel takes on a new challenge: helping people far beyond Longbritches. From solving disputes in neighboring towns to advising villagers on wedding dresses and baby names, Isabel's wisdom and kindness draw crowds from across the realm. Her travels aboard her brother's ship, The Scuttlebutt, take her to distant ports and bring unexpected joy-until a mysterious woman arrives with a desperate plea.

On the far side of the sea lies the hidden island of Barbadillo, where an ancient evil has risen again. Known now as the Dragon Queen, Lady Chatsworth has returned, wielding dark magic and commanding a fierce dragon. With courage, cleverness, and a loyal band of allies-including a brave young girl prone to seasickness, a pair of misfit deckhands, and a pocket-sized mouse named Squeakers-Isabel sets sail on her greatest adventure yet: to rescue an enchanted island, confront an old enemy, and uncover the true strength of her heart.

Full of whimsy, humor, and high-stakes magic, Isabel and The Dragon Queen is a beautifully illustrated, middle-grade fantasy adventure perfect for readers ages 12+. A celebration of courage, friendship, and defying expectations, this enchanting tale will delight fans of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, The Tale of Despereaux, and Howl's Moving Castle.
