A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Kingdom of the Golden Dragon, the second book of Isabel Allende’s page-turning adventure trilogy, follows Alexander Cold, his grandmother, and his irrepressible friend Nadia Santos into a forbidden kingdom in the Himalayas to find the legendary statue of the Golden Dragon. Available in trade paperback for the first time, this heart-pounding coming-of-age novel from Allende, acclaimed author of The Sum of Our Days and The House of the Spirits, “combines action, drama, and a cautionary tale of the decimation of ancient ways that occurs in the name of progress.” ( Indianapolis Star)
