Alex Neptune: Dragon Thief
For as long as Alex Neptune can remember, the ocean has wanted to kill him. Which is awkward when he lives in the seaside town of Haven Bay. But things get really weird when an octopus, some sea otters and an army of crabs lead him to the spooky abandoned aquarium on the hill… There he discovers a magical water dragon, imprisoned by a poacher who wants to use its powers to get rich. Recruiting his tech-genius best friend, bodybuilding older sister, and a ragtag crew of animal companions, Alex plots a heist to break the dragon out and return it to the seas – discovering his own oceanic powers along the way….
