The Dragondah Mysteries

DRAGONDAH      BRIMSTONES     PENHALIGONS 

How 11-year-old Ottillee Bottomly joined forces with a bat, a fox and a local boy with no last name to solve ancient mysteries, outwit scheming villains, and rescue a magical corner of England that's as old as time itself...

The Dragondah Mysteries

A FANTASY ADVENTURE SERIES 

(For people aged about 9 years and over, I'm thinking. But also for anyone who likes solving tricky mysteries involving creepy caves, terrifying tunnels and a long-forgotten Cornish castle. Oh yes, and who also likes plucky heroines with more attitude than is good for them!)

"Dragondah is a fast-paced, thrill-a-page mystery with a strong cast of memorable characters. A SILVER MEDAL WINNER and highly recommended!’

MORE REVIEWS...

​​"Every now and again a book comes along that is a genuine joy to read, and I almost forget I'm meant to be critiquing it. Part One certainly fell into that category for me. Part Two is a wonderful sequel. Both are easy to read and often very funny."  ELEANOR HAWKEN • JERICHO WRITERS

"Effervescent characters bolster this diverting tale that celebrates youthful exuberance."

'GET IT' Verdit. KIRKUS REVIEWS (USA)

"This book reminded me of lots of the Enid Blyton books – which I also love. There’s adventure, mystery and lots of suspense. I think this author is a FAB writer for kids!” ​GIRL, AGED 12 (UK)

"Ottillee Bottomly has a very funny name. But I liked her anyway. She's brave and determined, which is the way a hero should be. The story is not difficult at all to follow, and there's lots happening – ALL THE TIME. Liked it a lot." GIRL, AGED 12 (UK)

“I liked Ottillee. I think that’s important as, if you don’t like the MC, it’s hard to like the book.”

BOY, AGED 12 (UK)

“I liked all the characters. A few of them were a bit odd – I think eccentric is the best word. I think this book is exciting and filled with suspense. I would read another book by this author.” GIRL, AGED 11 (UK)

Goodreads, Jackie Loxham
