Naughty Dragons Fire Up!: Naughty Dragons #3

Description

In the Laidley Hundreds, dangerous wild dragons roam the Highlands. But dragons aren't born bad - just naughty! It's Dragon New Year, a week-long, once-in-a-lifetime event, and Ava and Jack can't wait to celebrate with Graun and Fafnine! There'll be picnics, parties, a bonfire and - best of all - a majestic fireworks display. But with two naughty dragons on the loose, and a set of self-important dragon triplets on a mission to bring them down, the celebrations soon turn into a disaster of epic proportions. Have the naughty dragons finally gone too far? Perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and Enid Blyton's classic adventures, Naughty Dragons is a highly visual series for readers 6+, packed with rollicking adventure, riotous laughs and oodles of mischief.
