Alex’s big sister Bridget was giving Luisa from Encanto vibes and I think might have been my fave character - super determined. I adored the animals used in this story, otters, seagulls, octopi, and other marine animals were included, and of course the wonderful water dragon featured on the cover.

I think the important messages about the environment and doing what's right within such a fun story is excellent for Children's books. Filled with dragons, friendship, eco themes and the magic of the sea throughout, it’s a truly unmissable series, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Dragon Mountain.

Although the story does have eco themes it isn’t at all heavy handed and the heist takes centre stage. Alex Neptune, Dragon Thief is a mythical fantasy, adventure story for children and was absolutely amazing! Sarah Driver, author of The Huntress trilogyMeet Alex Neptune, the boy with the power of the ocean in his hands – a brand-new hero for fans of Percy Jackson and Dragon Realm! This means while it is possible the bay's shape was indeed like that because the Water Dragon took a bite out of it (leaving it with a 7 or potential 8), the climax size is roughly the size of the boat/ship of the villain.
