Dragon Towers - Theo and Wanda Rule by Pip Bird

Badge stating reviewed by Fiona, Children's Librarian

Dragon Towers - Theo and Wanda Rule by Pip Bird is illustrated by David O’Connell and I think this what drew me in the most, it is simply full of the most adorable dragons ever! And of course there are scary fire breathing dragons as well. This is the first book in a new series from the author of the Naughtiest Unicorn. It all takes place in a school setting, but a school where everyone has their own dragon!  The book centres around ten year-old Theo. Theo loves dragons, has every dragon book and knows every type of dragon there is. One day Theo gets an invite to dragon school!  He thinks all his dreams have come true, but have they? Every student is paired with a dragon who has a certain special ability, but Theo gets Wanda, and she doesn’t seem to have any special powers at all, or does she? Join Theo and Wanda on their adventures to find out! This is a quick easy read, with plenty of laughs and adventure throughout. I didn’t know what burpboxing was before, but I do now and a word of warning, it can break plates!

There are cute dragon profiles at the end of the book and a quick quiz you can take! 

Ideal for ages 6+
