Brothers Paddy and Flynn are great mates, but living far from other children can sometimes get boring.

Putting their heads together they come upon an idea – something they shouldn’t do, but now the thought is live there is no stopping them.

Creeping quietly into their attic, they pore over all the strange boxes in the shadowy corners of the room. Soon they come upon a map!

It shows them mysterious places with intriguing names:

Mother’s Knee Hill

The Swamp of Children’s Wishes

 

and the most interesting of all – a place that hatches Dragons!

Too exciting to ignore, they hatch a plan and then set off with their dog Coco who has already been far closer to a dragon than any dog should be!

By the time they return home, sneaking up to the attic without permission will be the least bit of trouble for that day.

Another exciting adventure with brothers Paddy and Flynn discovering the amazing places around their home. This is the second adventure in The Dragon Brothers picture book trilogy. The rhyming story takes readers further from their family cottage than in the first episode, and the danger has rapidly risen too.

As a huge fan of The Dragon Defenders Chapter Book/Middle Grade series, it is so satisfying to learn about the brothers before they became guardians of the dragons on their island.

As with all the books in both The Dragon Brothers picture book series and The Dragon Defenders series, the AR app allows you to see the island come alive on your device.

Just load the AR App, hold your phone above the end pages (inside front/back covers), and hear the brother’s laughter as the dragons fly around the island.
