James fails his Junior Knight test as a result of acting before thinking. Soon, the Secret Library sends Sofia to help the dragons on the Blazing Palisades when their home is invaded by sea monsters. James sees this as a chance to practice for his retest, so he stows away with Sofia and ends up making the mission harder than it already is.
Tropes
- An Aesop: Look before you leap.
- Meaningful Rename: The Blazing Palisades have been renamed the Misty Palisades.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Due to his lack of listening skills, James kept making the mission harder than it already was by accidentally showing the sea serpents the trail to the torch, flying over them on Smokely, and destroying the dragons' wall to block the serpents.
