Description
This is a fast and funny junior novel based on the Jane and the Dragon animated TV series. What's so funny about playing dung wars? What's so side-splitting about armpit farts? Jane just doesn't get it. But Dragon and Gunther think it's all hilariously funny and are fast becoming the best of friends. Is Jane really that boring? Or is Gunther up to something? Somehow, Jane must find her funny bone or risk losing Dragon forever.

She wants adventure, danger and challenge!" Born in the UK, he now lives in New Zealand.
