STEALING A BABY DRAGON WAS EASY! HIDING IT IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED, IN THIS SEQUEL TO REVIEWER FAVORITE ‘DRAGONS IN A BAG’.

Jaxon had just one job – to return three baby dragons to the realm of magic. But when he got there, only two dragons were left in the bag. His best friend’s sister, Kavita, is a dragon thief!

Kavita only wanted what was best for the baby dragon. But now every time she feeds it, the dragon grows and grows! How can she possible keep it a secret? Even worse, stealing it has upset the balance between the worlds. The gates to the other realm have shut tight! Jaxon needs all the help he can get to find Kavita, outsmart a trickster named Blue, and return the baby dragon to its true home.

Dragons in a Bag

 

Review: What a fun premise! Dragons in Brooklyn, a Ma who’s a witch and a transport machine in the middle of a downtown park. Zetta Elliott leads middle grade readers on a quest to find and capture baby dragons all while avoiding time traps and tricksters. Jaxon has so may discoveries about himself, his heritage and his potential. Time travel can be dangerous! Fast paced and easy to read fantasy with colorful characters. We loved it!
