About this listen
"The Dragon Detective Agency. Dirk Dilly speaking."
When a visitor turns up unannounced at Dirk's office with a new case for him and Holly to solve, all is not as it seems. A Sea Dragon has disappeared, and the only clue left at the scene of the crime is the ashy outline of an elusive Sky Dragon.
As their investigations take them from a dodgy billionaire's HQ to the top of the city's tallest skyscraper, trouble is set to soar sky high for this dragon detective and his partner-in-solving-crime. Will they be able to hunt down the suspect and find the missing dragon before they both disappear into thin air?
The third installment in a fun and action-packed detective series for fans of Toto the Ninja Cat, How to Train Your Dragon, and Tom Fletcher's children's books!

Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret.

When Murph Cooper rocks up to his new school, he can't help but feel a bit out of his depth. And it's not because he's worried about where to sit, and making friends, and fitting in, or not knowing where the loos are. It's because his mum has enrolled him at a school for superheroes by mistake. And unlike his fellow students Murph has no special abilities whatsoever. But just because you don't have superpowers, it doesn't mean you can't save the day....
