If your young reader devoured Wings of Fire and How to Train Your Dragon, buckle up — New Dragon City is the dragon apocalypse adventure they never knew they needed!

No one predicted the dragon apocalypse — but it came anyway, reducing New York City and the world as we knew it to rubble. Three years on, twelve-year-old Noah scrapes by underground with his survivalist father and a ragged band of survivors, counting down the months until the hibernating dragons wake again and the danger returns. But when Noah has a chance encounter with a young dragon, everything he thought he knew is turned upside down — and rumours of a group of humans living in harmony with dragons send him on a mission to discover whether true peace is actually possible. New Dragon City is a high-stakes, action-packed story about friendship, survival, and fighting fiercely for the ones you love, perfect for fans of dragon adventures and post-apocalyptic tales alike.

Epic Dragon Adventure: Fans of Wings of Fire and How to Train Your Dragon will be immediately hooked by this thrilling, fast-paced world where humans and dragons are locked in a battle for survival.
Themes That Matter: Beneath the fire-breathing action lies a powerful story about empathy, questioning what you've been taught, and choosing compassion even in the most dangerous circumstances.
A World Kids Can Lose Themselves In: The vivid post-apocalyptic New York City setting — full of scavenging missions, makeshift societies, and underground hideouts — creates an immersive backdrop that keeps pages turning.
Perfect for Reluctant Readers: The non-stop action, relatable protagonist, and shorter chapters make this an ideal pick for readers who need a book that grabs them from the very first page.
