Emily Rodda wrote this book which was first published in 2009 by Omnibus Books. And the book’s ISBN number is ISBN: 978 1 86291 830 6.

Also The Battle for Rondo is the third book in the series and when Leo and Mimi go to Rondo this time a green dragon is kidnapping citizens of Rondo and when the quest team find Spoiler he soon tells Leo that the Blue Queen is looking for him: as he stolen a heart shaped silver box out of her room and she wants it back.

Spoiler also tells that the heart shaped silver box had some sort of cream in it and he sold it for some fish. They then find this person he sold the box to and he tells them that The Ogre of Cruelcliff has it now.

So the team then decides to get it back.

Then as Spoiler is in disguise as Dame Dally The Ogre of Cruelcliff thinks Spoiler is a damsel and is determined to marry “her.” But then the wedding doesn’t go ahead as they all get caught in the ogre’s forbidden room. 

However the quest team then get “rescued” by a female golden dragon who tells them that the cream in the heart shaped silver box is a dragon’s heart. They then try to find out what potion the blue queen is trying to make and I think that the golden dragon tells them that a dragon’s heart is needed for a person to make The Great Potion.

And as they are wondering what the other ingredients are that the blue queen needs, the quest team then get escorted by a magic fish to see The Tideseer and Leo and Mimi are told by Tye when they get back to Flitter Wood that the blue queen and the tideseer are sisters. But then the quest team finds out that there are conditions, and one of them is that The Tideseer only sees three people at a time. And another is that they also have to pay her by telling The Tideseer something she doesn’t know.
