Stealing a baby dragon was easy! Hiding it is a little more complicated, in this second book in the critically acclaimed Dragons in a Bag series.

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 possibly keep it 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 continues! Don't miss the next book in the series, The Witch's Apprentice.

great story

Great fantasy. This was so well written and tells a wonderful story of a family. The narrator's malleable voice is excellent to depict each character. The author's motivation in writing these two books is also inspiring.

More female Narration and Inclusion

I purposely choose this series because inclusion is important, which is why my heart broke when Kavita didn’t have more of a role in this book. The narration should have followed her and her Aunty through the books entirety. The storyline felt rushed and messy. We were all so very disappointed in this book. It could have been so much more.
