Dungeons & Dragons

Welcome to Dungeon Academy, where monsters and creatures train for the dark world that awaits just beyond the Dungeon walls.

But Zellidora 'Zelli' Stormclash wasn't a monster or a creature. She was something far worse. Zelli was a human.

Disguised as a minotaur, Zelli keeps to herself and does her work. While in class, Zelli learns of the great human adventurer, Allidora Steelstrike, who oddly resembles her. Could Zelli be - a Steelstrike?

Seeking answers to her true lineage, Zelli embarks on a dangerous adventure. But she won't be alone. A vegan Owlbear, a cowardly Kobold and a shapeshifting Mimic who only transforms into nice things will join Zelli on her quest for the truth. And who knows, perhaps these monstrous misfits may discover truths of their own ...

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS by Madeleine Roux, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a riveting blend of action and fiction that will engage juvenile readers. The graphic depiction of Zelli's quest, accompanied by her unique companions, demonstrates Roux's proficiency in creating top children's novels.

For fans of Pi Kids (Marvel), Jamie Smart (Bunny vs Monkey), -Scholastic- (Thelma the Unicorn), Emily Stead (Beth Mead), and Liz Pichon (Top of the Class).
