Description
Nathan McMannis is bored. His friends have gone on to new adventures, while he's stuck at the Alexandra Institute doing correspondence school. All he wants is more excitement, less maths homework.
But you know what they say: Be careful what you wish for.
A huge earthquake strikes, and emergency services are overwhelmed, unable to rescue the thousands of people in danger. To make matters worse, the weather turns deadly.
Against his father's orders, Nathan flies away with his draconic partners, Foggy Bottom and Rata, to rally the dragons. The Draconic Search and Rescue Team descends upon isolated and endangered towns to ferry people to safety. But the task might be too big, even for the dragons.
If they fail, thousands will die.
Will the fragile peace between people and dragons hold in the face of disaster? How far are the dragons willing to push themselves to save the humans who persecuted them for centuries?
Another wild, dragon-filled adventure set in modern day New Zealand! This standalone adventure can also be read as Book 5 of the Dragon Defence League series.

Person
Robinne is an entomologist and educator by training, but has never been able to control her writing habit. She has been publishing her writing since she was nine years old and has been known to answer exam questions in verse. Unlike her exam answers, which were met with awkward silence by her Very Serious Professors, her stories have won multiple awards.Her fantasy books for children include the Dragon Defence League series and other books infested by unusual animals. For teens she's written the epic fantasy series, Fatecarver. She's also published three fantasy novels for adults, two non-fiction books about insects and a book of poetry.Robinne believes adventures are the key to writing. The list of her own adventures is long, and includes teaching with a live two-metre-long Burmese python and living in a mud house in Panama. She lives in rural Canterbury.Visit her at robinneweiss.com.
