In the companion to The Frog Princess, Dragon's Breath by E.D. Baker, Emma can't seem to control her magic-first she accidentally transports herself to the dungeon, then she discovers that whenever she sneezes, she turns into a frog. Meanwhile, her aunt Grassina is completely focused on her true love (who has been turned into an otter), and Greater Greensward is in danger, unless Emma can convince Grassina to protect the kingdom with magic.
