New Releases by KATE MCMULLAN

Includes five adventures starring Fluffy the classroom guinea pig.

Welcome to the Dark Ages, where dastardly dragons rule the land and the life of a weedy boy called Wiglaf is about to change forever. . . There''s only one place an ordinary boy can learn to be a hero - the Dragon Slayers'' Academy. Join Wiglaf on his quest to take on tyrants and battle the most fearsome of beasts!

When Wiglaf and his pals from Dragon Slayers'' Academy meet up with the wizard Zelnoc, all they ask is for a little magic to help them get through the Dark Forest fast. But unfortunately, Zelnoc''s spells always end with an "Oops! Sorry about that!" So, yes, the boys are able to travel much faster now...but that''s because they have wings, can fly, and have been turned into dragons! And they become the newest students at Dragon Slackers'' Academy, a school that teaches knight-slaying! This funny turnabout in which the kids from DSA suddenly see life from a dragon''s point of view makes a wonderful addition to this popular series!

Kate and Jim McMullan''s follow-up to the multi-award-winning I Stink! is a raucous tribute to a tireless harbor hero.

Wiglaf''s supposed to be a dragon slayer, but he''s more like a dragon babysitter when he finds a baby dragon and decides to keep it!
