After battling storms, electric eels and an army of angry crabs, Alex realises that the only way he and his team can save the dragon and all their ocean friends is by going inside the dragon...gulp!
David resents the fact that he was not raised by wolves and was therefore robbed of a good story to tell at parties. He turned to fiction to compensate for his unremarkable existence.
He achieved 1st class honours in BA Creative Writing and MA Writing for Children at The University of Winchester, where he went on to teach on the BA Creative Writing course for three years. He hopes that one day all of his students will surpass his own achievements.
David’s debut YA novel, Panther, will be published by Constable & Robinson on their Corsair imprint in May 2015. Panther is a funny, touching, and occasionally unsettling coming-of-age story, which deals candidly with the stigmas and misunderstandings surrounding depression.
David has also worked as an award-shortlisted freelance games journalist and has been published as a poet.
This was a glorious mix of magic, icky and familiar friends (and foes). These characters are glorious and being back in their little world made me so happy! When the animals of the bay start acting aggressively, it’s up to Alex and his gang to solve the mystery! This was a whole load of fun - from finding out more history of the Water Dragon, to children being flung through the air, I chuckled away and bits!
Yet another sweet installment in a deeply enjoyable series. It sees our dear Alex Neptune fight difficult odds to save the day alongside his best friends Anil and Zoey, as well as more baby dragon.
Dragons, friendships, eco themes and the magic of the sea merge in Alex Neptune, Monster Avenger - Alex’s third adventure and this time the challenge is bigger and deadlier! Alex senses that a dark power is controlling the sea creatures near Haven Bay, his friend the water dragon included. After battles with storms, electric eels and angry crabs Alex and his friends discover the only way to win is … to go inside the dragon!
