Ever since their father mysteriously disappeared on a secret expedition, Ruth and David Duncan have been obsessed with finding him.

Children's Literature

With a sense of humor and a lively brushstroke, Ami Blackford makes her debut as a children's book writer and illustrator. Ruth and David's father mysteriously disappeared on a secret mission several years ago, and the children are determined to find him. Ruth's fieldwork with The Society of Magbeologists takes her to a magic realm filled with fairies, dragons, gryphons, and phoenix. In this fast-paced journey, Ruth follows in her father's footsteps and finds a Dragon Stone, a rare find in any world. As the story ends, the boy and girl are destined to continue their father's work—the excavation of prized relics, and the preservation of magical beings. Red Cygnet Press brings a young and accomplished author/illustrator, Ami Blackford, to print just a few months after her graduation from Atlanta College of Art. Quest for the Dragon Stone is a creative work that will enchant young readers, particularly those interested in action, adventure, and mythical creatures.
