Adventure through magic, mystery, and family secrets in this multiple-award winning book about a modern Florida boy who discovers that the swamp where he lives has monsters far more terrifying than alligators.

The first time a hunter came for him, Bradley was only nine years old. That was three years ago, and he barely escaped.

As his twelfth birthday approaches, he doesn’t remember anything about hunters, or dragons, or even magic. As far as he’s concerned, he’s a regular kid living in a regular trailer park.
He’d better figure it out soon.

The hunters are coming and his world will never be the same.

Kirkus Magazine calls it an “intriguingly exciting hero’s journey that’s also beautifully thoughtful and humane.”
ReadingWithYourKids.com says the book is “seriously awesome,” and “5 stars are rare for us, yet we’d give this one 7 if that were possible. Seriously, I could barely put it down.”

The Children’s Book Review sums it up as “an excellent choice for readers who enjoy thought-provoking, thrilling, and suspenseful fantasy stories!”

If you haven’t read Bradley’s Dragons yet, now is the time.
The sequel, Abigail’s Dragons, is coming soon!

Abigail has a powerful magic inside her, one that will turn her into a monster if she's not careful.

She's not the only one cursed. There are other children just like her, kept asleep in a cave deep underground. Abigail keeps them safe, draining their power just as she drains away her own, desperately searching for a cure.

But what if there is no cure? What if her cave is a prison, and not a place of healing? How can she save the Sleepers when she's not even sure how to save herself?

Winner of multiple awards, Bradley’s Dragons, and the upcoming Abigail’s Dragons, will keep you on the edge of your seats, reading together, and maybe even asking the most important question: what kind of dragon will you become?
