A school report turns into an underwater expedition

Danny Dragonbreath is the only mythical creature at a school for reptiles and amphibians, and his inability to breathe fire sets him apart. When an ocean report calls for research, Danny, his iguana friend, and his sea-serpent cousin head underwater instead of relying on an encyclopedia. Their tour brings them face to face with sea cucumbers and a giant squid. Ursula Vernon combines comic-book panels with text, using Danny’s school life and unusual family connections to shape an adventure about difference, friendship, and learning through exploration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in comics and graphic novels.
  • Readers who enjoy school stories involving unusual creatures and underwater adventures.
  • Kids who like visual storytelling paired with text.

Book overview

It's not easy for Danny Dragonbreath to be the sole mythical creature in a school for reptiles and amphibians?especially because he can't breathe fire like other dragons (as the school bully loves to remind him). But having a unique family comes in handy sometimes, like when his sea-serpent cousin takes Danny and his best iguana friend on a mindboggling underwater tour, complete with vomiting sea cucumbers and giant squid. It sure beats reading the encyclopedia to research his ocean report . . .

Using a hybrid of comic-book panels and text, Ursula Vernon introduces an irresistible set of characters with a penchant for getting themselves into sticky situations. It's perfect for both the classroom and fans of Wimpy Kid and Bad Kitty.
