|aMiss Lotta Scales, a dragon also known as Miss Lotty the librarian, wants to retire from taking care of the school's library but will not willingly stand by and see her beloved books replaced by computers.
After 682 years of faithful service, Miss Lotty is retiring from guarding books. But before she can check out of Sunrise Elementary for good, disaster strikes. Someone has ordered that all the books be removed from the library and replaced with machines! It's enough to make Lotty feel a little... dragon-like! When she bursts into a fiery rage, only one thing can make her shed her scales: assurance that someone will fight to keep her precious books in the hands of Sunrise's children. A surprise appearance from Lotty's old friend Molly Brickmeyer reassures her that changes will be made for the better. Carmen Agra Deedy's humorous tale is paired with Michael P. White's lively illustrations to create a sequel that conveys a timely take on technology that will resonate with librarians and students alike.
