About This Book

Join Theo on new adventure at Dragon Towers – the school where everyone has their own dragon best friend!

A hilarious new series from the author of the Naughtiest Unicorn – highly illustrated, full of fun and adventure, and starring a dragon with a magical bum. Perfect for readers aged 6 and up.

At Dragon Towers every child is paired with their very own dragon best friend, and every dragon has their own special magic power, from fire-breathing to going invisible and even making slime.

Theo's dragon Wanda is a bit different to the other dragons – she's more friendly than fearsome, she gets distracted by her tail when flying, and when Theo first met her she didn't seem to have any powers at all. But Wanda is Theo's best friend, things are NEVER boring when she's around – and in fact she has the rarest power of all… a magical bum.

In this new adventure, things get spooky as Theo, his friends and their dragons are getting ready to celebrate Halloween at Dragon Towers. Everyone's excited about their fancy dress outfits – but there are strange roars coming from the forbidden tower… is it a ghost dragon??

Take to the skies in this hilarious new series, which celebrates fun, friendship and being yourself – perfect for fans of the Naughtiest Unicorn, Pamela Butchart and the Worst Witch.

Packed full of roaringly funny pictures by David O'Connell.
