Alex Neptune is his first series for younger readers, born of his love for nail-biting heists, fantastical monsters and heartfelt friendships. It’s equally at home in a bedroom to use as a dressing table seat, sat in front of a piano, or as a side table-meets-footstool in a living space. Long ranting spoilers At a certain point, our character, who has been afraid of the ocean as it had been trying to kill him ever since he was a young child, finds out he has oceanic powers and can breath underwater.To my shame, I’ve never read any of David Owen’s YA books, despite always wanting to, but I instantly loved the sound of his first ever foray into middle grade and I was so thrilled to win one in a giveaway as it just sounded like the perfect summer read. I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience. After battling storms, electric eels and an army of angry crabs, Alex realises that the only way he and his team can save the dragon and all their ocean friends is by going inside the dragon. First of all I have been following David’s work for years and I am so happy that he has tried his hand at children’s/MG as well as YA – and that this book looks to be blowing up in a good way!

Alex Neptune, Dragon Thief is a fun and exciting mystery with a fantastic cast of human and animal characters.Nie wiem, czy to kwestia samego tekstu, czy sposobu czytania przez lektora, ale ja osobiście czułam się momentami atakowana. Featuring a faded seaside town teeming with legend and danger, Alex Neptune is fun and full of heart, perfect for readers who love mysteries and heists.
