Introducing The Dragon Defenders!

This is the best-selling Dragon Defenders series of middle grade novels.

The series is a runaway phenomenon in author James Russell's home country of New Zealand, where the themes of resilience, teamwork and standing up for what is right have resonated with a legion of dedicated fans.

The books follow the adventures of Flynn, Paddy, Briar and Beth as they strive to protect their paradise island (and the dragons that live there) from the clutches of evil boss The Pitbull.

They're also ground-breaking; the first middle grade novels to include 'augmented reality' content – accessed by way of a free app – which bring certain pages of the book to life with jaw-dropping 3D and 2D animations, videos, audio files, code crackers and puzzles.
