内容简介 Book Description
In The Dragon of Doom, Moongobble successfully completed his first mighty task — collecting the Golden Acorns of Alcoona. So now it's time for him to complete the second one. he must bring back a bottle containing the tears of the Weeping Werewolf! But werewolves are scary, dangerous creatures. How can Moongobble, a magician with a good heart but who's not much good at magic, collect the tears without being torn to shreds?

Luckily, Edward, Fireball the dragon, and Urk, Moongobble's faithful toad, are all there to help him. Together they go in search of the Weeping Werewolf, and end up with much more that they bargained for!

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4–In this second book in the series, young Edward and his friends must help Moongobble the Wizard complete the second Mighty Task so that he can become a member of the Society of Magicians. The boy, the wizard, the Rusty Knight, Urk the toad, and Fireball the dragon head into the forever-darkened Forest of the Night to bring home a bottle of the Weeping Werewolf's tears and make the shocking discovery that the creature is Edward's long-lost father. Now, in addition to fulfilling the task, they must also find a way to break the curse that has transformed the man into a monster and kept him from his family all these years. Coville presents an excellent picture of Edward's hopeful but uncertain reactions to finding the father he never knew. The author seamlessly weaves in issues of bullying (Edward is teased for not having a father and later feels guilty for taunting the werewolf) into the flow of his lighthearted fantasy. The charming graphite sketches are a perfect complement to the humorous prose. An excellent choice for fans of Kate McMullan's "Dragon Slayers' Academy" books (Grosset & Dunlap) and Tony Abbott's "The Secrets of Droon" series (Scholastic).
