Synopsis
Although she is an orphan in indentured servitude, sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange is pretty good at her job of managing the unpredictable crew at Kazam Mystical Arts Management: she has already solved the Dragon Problem, avoided mass destruction by Quarkbeast and helped save magic in the Ununited Kingdoms. Yet even Jennifer may be defeated when the long-absent Mighty Shandar, the most powerful wizard the world has ever known, makes an astonishing appearance and commands her to find the legendary jewel, the Eye of Zoltar, proclaiming that if she fails, he will eliminate the only two dragons left on earth. With the odds against them, will Jennifer and her travelling companions ever return to the Kingdom of Snodd? The third book of the series.
