Dragon Keepers #3: The Dragon in the Library Paperback – April 26, 2011
Purchase options and add-ons
Emmy, their rapidly growing dragon, has become a real grouch, saying she's missing "something," and the cousins don't have a clue what that something is. Jesse and Daisy go online to ask Professor Andersson, their favorite dragon expert, for help and end up seeing him being kidnapped!
The kidnapper is none other than Sadie Huffington, the girlfriend of their enemy, St. George the Dragon Slayer. She has hatched a wicked scheme to use the professor to both find St. George and capture Emmy. Now the dragon keepers and their dragon must storm Sadie's castle and rescue the professor from the witch and her pack of vicious dog-men!
In this third fantasy book in the Dragon Keepers series, Kate Klimo introduces readers to a magical library filled with shelf elves and reveals the secrets of the gigantic red book that Jesse and Daisy discovered in The Dragon in the Sock Drawer. She keeps the action and adventure flying while bringing both heart and imagination to this tale of two kids and a dragon, growing up together.
The Dragon Keepers series is perfect for kids who crave books about dragons and magic but are caught betwixt and between—too old for Magic Tree House and not yet ready for Eragon and the Inheritance cycle.

About the author
Kate Klimo spent her early years amidst the cornfields of Iowa where the winters were prodigious. Often, when the snows flash-thawed in the spring, she would find her backyard filled with the flapping, resurrected bodies of fish her ice-fishing father had stored in the snowdrifts. Thus sprang into her young head the unshakable notion that, all winter long, fish escaped from the rivers and magically swum through the snow banks of Mount Vernon, Iowa.
When she moved to the little town of Sea Cliff, on Long Island Sound, she met her best friend Justine in the Stenson Memorial Library at the main desk, where they often checked out the same fantasy writers. Together, they read C.S. Lewis, E. Nesbit, Edward Eager, and George MacDonald and embarked on a tireless search for portals to magical worlds, extending from abandoned Victorian mansions to the decrepit local five-and-dime to the sandy cliffs sweeping down to the Sound.
With her propensity for magical thinking and long-standing love of fantasy, does it come as any surprise that Kate grew up to be in the book business? But after over 25 years of heading up Random House Children’s Books, with the publication of The Dragon in the Sock Drawer in March 2008, Kate began to ease over to the author’s side of the desk.
Now a full-time author, in addition to numerous one-off titles, she has written the middle-grade series The Dragon Keepers series and the Dog Diaries as well the Centauriad for young adults. Under the pen name Bonnie Worth, she has penned over a dozen books in the best-selling Cat in the Hat Learning Library. She lives in New Paltz, New York with her husband and two horses.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016My son loved the book Dragon in the Library. It was beautifully written and great for your imagination. It is not easy to find books about dragons but this is a keeper. The artwork on the cover is happy and whimsical and leaves you with the need to pick it up and flip through the book and see what is hiding in the pages. The book was easy to follow and takes you on a journey you will not soon forget. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to go on a journey with a dragon. The price was great for the quality of book.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017These books are good for your reluctant reader. Keeps you interested in the book. My daughter has dyslexia and doesn't get into book easily and she loved this series
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020This was the 1st book of the series I read because a student of mine recommended it and I didn't realize it was the 3rd. I still enjoyed it and felt the author was explicit in her descriptions. The characters were well developed. I'll have to go back and read the first two.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2011This is the 3rd in the series and I've read all of them with my 8 year old as our nighttime reading. It is great for a kid with a big imagination and likes dragons! There is a little bit of everything in the book - suspense, humor, kindness... definitely a good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2010My 5 year old daughter picked up the first book in this series at the library last year. I read it to her over a week's time and we both fell in love with Emmy, Daisy and Jesse. We were happy to then find Dragon in the driveway and this year's Dragon in the library. The Dragon in the Library was so enchanting and magical. We can't wait to read the next book.
