The Dragon Defenders - Book Two: The Pitbull Returns by James Russell
A best-selling, rip-roaring, page-turning tale of dragons and their brave child guardians, with mind-blowing, interactive augmented reality content accessible via free app AR Reads. Evil boss The Pitbull has wasted nine months waiting for the dragon's egg he stole from Flynn and Paddy's paradise island to hatch. But when he discovers that it's nothing more than an egg-shaped rock, he flies into a terrible rage and returns, hell-bent on revenge. How will Flynn and Paddy ever be able to stop him this time? The Dragon Defenders is a best-selling, much-loved series with themes of family, resourcefulness, teamwork, conservation and standing up for what you believe. These books are also like nothing you've seen before. Simply download the free 'AR Reads' app, point your device at parts of the book and watch them turn into reality. Features include eye-popping 3D animations which rise up out of the pages, 2D animations, code crackers, and video and audio messages. Note: the app is not necessary to enjoy the books; they're designed to be read either with or without the use of the app - it's your choice. One more thing to note: this book is printed with a dyslexia friendly font, developed with advice from the Dyslexia Association of New Zealand. Filled with action, wonderfully written, and contains positive messages about teamwork, courage, and sticking up for others. A rollicking adventure!
