Book Overview
Connie Lionheart's calculating great-aunt and uncle try to take her away from the tantalizing reach of the Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures. What they don't realize (or do they?) is that Connie is the Society's most important member--she is the only universal companion able to bond with all mythical creatures. Connie's great gift also puts her in great danger, as the evil shape-shifter Kullervo needs her power to destroy the Society once and for all. But how can Connie help anyone, even herself, when she hasn't learned how to use her gift yet? In this second book of the Companions Quartet, Connie and her friends team together again to protect the fragile bonds between humans, creatures, and the world we must share.

Superb sequel!

The second book in the Companion series is great! This book reads so much faster than the first because the story is already set in book one. We are introduced to more mythological characters that are quite familiar. There seems to be more action in this story, which I prefer. I'm very eager to read the third book. I have 4 boys who also read and loved this book. They are big Percy Jackson fans and this series really helps them continue their love of mythology!
Wow - exciting book

I am a parent, presumably reading this series to preview it for my kids. But I am enjoying it so much. I found this book to be even more exciting than the first. It is the continuation of Connie's life as she learns to deal with being a universal. She learns that along with special gifts comes great responsibility. I love the action in this book as well as the messages. It has a wonderful environmental message, without coming off as too preachy. The book delivers messages about taking care of your friends, taking responsibility for your own actions, environmental awareness, and accepting people for who they are. Although it is a kids book, I enjoyed it enough to run out and grab the next one.
Great!

I thought this book was an exellent sequal. I was a little surprised when I found out that Connie was about 12. Otherwise, though, it was good. I really wanted to smack Connie's aunt, she was so MEAN! I can't believe she ruined the only photo of Scark. But near the end, Col's dad was sort of horrible towards Connie when..... I'll let you find out why....
