The wild and wonderful island home of Flynn and Paddy holds an incredible secret: dragons live there!
When evil boss The Pitbull finds out, he sends his men to kill a dragon, and to bring him back the body. He also wants a dragon’s egg, so he can hatch it in his private zoo.
Flynn and Paddy’s world is about to be turned upside down. Will their bravery and skill be enough to stop The Pitbull’s evil plan?
“A delight!”
