This series is so fun and just continues to get better and better. I love sharing them with my young niece and nephews who love the adventurous nature of the series and of course, the dragons.

Brilliant book that my 6 year old son loved.

It has really good world building for a children's book and the story was great, will be looking out for the next one in the series.

We are huge fans of Katie and Kevin in our house and really enjoy the Dragons series.

I loved the new cast of characters, and especially meeting Lance, who is quite a quiet character who notices things others don't and is a little softer and gentler than many of the other characters. Seeing him find his dragon was a huge joy in this book.

I loved being introduced to Camp Claw and the Dragon Force and getting to see the children from the earlier Dragons books older, more confident, saving the world and uniting Dragons and their humans.

I really enjoyed the mystery in this one - who was attacking camp claw and why.

Another brilliant book in the Dragons series, and as always, we're looking forward to seeing what's next!

Loved this book - the first in an amazing new action-packed fantasy adventure series from Katie and Kevin Tsang.

My son adored the dragon realm books and I have absolutely no doubt he (and many of his friends) will with this one too!
Plus who doesn’t love anything to do with the mythical creatures that are dragons?!

Set in the same world as the Dragon Realm books, this new book is lighthearted, fun and easy to digest!
I can't wait for the next book! And to be able to buy my son a copy of it.

A brilliant return to this magical world with a few familiar faces as well as new children, dragons and powers.

It has been 5 years since the end of Dragon Destiny, the dragons and humans have been living alongside each other with the original Dragon force leading the way. Billy, Liu, Dylan and Charlotte are teachers at Camp Claw now. Zoe and Lance are the new main characters in this book.

Zoe is strong willed, independent and fierce while her brother Lance is quietly caring and loving as well as the narrator of the book.
An epic, action packed dragon adventure.

The story is written wonderfully and it is a fast paced page turner. There is mysteries throughout the book.

Looking forward to the next book!

This is a hugely imaginative and fun adventure. The central premise of the story is around the life-long heart-bond that dragons have with some humans which, once formed, releases and enhances their own hidden magical gifts (for both human and dragon). Who wouldn't love to form that special bond with a dragon? I know I would.
Infinity's Secret starts with a great introduction to the world for those who haven't read the Dragon Realm series before everything goes wrong, and the impregnable Dragon's Claw base turns out to be not so safe as they thought. 12 year old Lance Lo, younger sister Zoe, and new friends Arthur and Bea, all newly arrived at Camp, along with the help of some terrific dragons, have to defend it from a deadly enemy,
With great characters, wonderful and endearing dragons, and terrible danger, Infinity's Secret is a super start to this new series, and I am certain will be hugely popular with lower middle grade readers (and anyone who likes dragons!)

A fun adventure story with dragon-sized heart!

This is the spiritual sequel to the Dragon Realm series that follows new character Lance Lo, who is invited to join the titular Dragon Force, a group of heart-bonded humans and dragons who save the world from peril. This has all the ingredients that made the first series so good: adventure, fun, friendship and a little bit of mystery, plus some very cool cameos from the original Dragon Realm characters!

And of course it ends in a cliffhanger! Book 2 can’t come fast enough!!

A story based in the Dragon Realm. After reading all of the previous series, I was a bit concerned that this spin off might not be as good. I was so wrong, another top roaring thrilling adventure - I might even read it to the children !

What an epic dragon adventure! It did not disappoint, a really page turner. For those who read the Dragon Realm, there is a sense of maturity with these books. A series that grows with the child that fell in love with the first series. I cannot wait to see where the next book goes.

I must admit that as massive fans of the original Dragon Realm series with Billy and the gang, I was unsure what I would think of this but I absolutely loved it. An action packed adventure which introduces a new gang of dragons and their heart bonded humans who are sent to camp claw to train and bond with a dragon. The original gang including Billy, Dylan and Ling Fei, run Camp Claw and train new recruits to be sent into the world with their dragons to assure humans dragons are safe or protect the world from threats as part of the Dragon Force. Lance and his sister are sent to Camp Claw and soon form friendships, meet their dragons and end up discovering their powers when they are forced to defend Camp Claw and the world from a powerful threat. Loved how the ending set up the next adventure too. An absolutely great next step in this series which will appeal to a broad range of children

In the five years since the end of Dragon Destiny, humans and dragons have been living alongside each other with Billy and the original Dragon Force crew leading the way. Together, they have set-up Camp Claw where students can develop their skills and learn how to protect the world as they now know it. With heart-bonded humans and their dragons, as well as humans who show potential, being invited to attend, it is a place that many aspire to. When Lance Lo and his sister are walking home from school one day, they are confronted by a Dragon. Whilst Lance fears that the Dragon will attack, Zoe is very calm, especially when she discovers that this is the Dragon she will be heart-bonded with. Whilst Lance is excited for his sister, he is also jealous as he knows this means she will be heading to Camp Claw in the summer and will probably be the youngest person there. When he then receives an invite, it takes much persuasion to convince their parents that both of their children should be allowed to go. After all, it's only for 3 weeks.
Upon arrival, they begin their lessons, lead by the original Dragon Force team, but it quickly becomes apparent that life at Camp Claw may not be as safe as it seems. Can Lance, Zoe and their new friends rally to save the day?

It really is no secret that I am a MASSIVE fan of the Dragon Realm series and have been shouting about it to anybody who will listen since well before the launch of book 1. So, the recent arrival of Dragon Force Infinity's Secret on NetGalley was met with much excitement (there may have been dancing!).

Whilst Billy, Charlotte, Dylan and Liu are part of this new off-shoot in that they are teachers at Camp Claw, it is Lance and Zoe who are the main characters. Siblings, it is great to see the dynamic between them and the different emotions Lance has when his sister is heart-bonded before he is. He is obviously very protective of her and this is apparent in so many ways throughout the book. I love this as so often sibling rivalry can cause problems. Although Zoe is a fierce and independent person in her own right, Lance's love and closeness is lovely to read.

With a new place to discover, Camp Claw is bound to become somewhere readers will want to immerse themselves in. The eating area alone sounds fabulous and the out-of-bounds parts very tempting!

Like the Dragon Realm series, Dragon Force Infinity's Secret is a fast-paced adventure that grabs readers from the very beginning. With an ending that will leave you wanting more, this new series is guaranteed to bring a whole new army of fans to the Dragon world. Perfect as a stand-alone but even better if you've read the Dragon Realm series, I predict Dragon Force Infinity's Secret is going to be a huge hit when it publishes on the 14th September.

Loved this book - the first in a thrilling new action-packed fantasy adventure series from Katie and Kevin Tsang. Set in the same world as the much-loved Dragon Realm books, this new series will have fans on the edge of their seats. I can't wait for the next book!

A glorious return to this world with some familiar faces (goodies AND baddies); a brand new bunch of children, dragons and powers; a whole new adventure to go on! I knew he was not to be trusted - I always get a vibe. Camp Claw seems like such an amazing place to visit… I wish I could heart bond with a dragon!

A great action adventure for pre teens. My son loved the first series so we read this together. It had great pace and he wanted to keep reading well past bedtime. He liked the returning characters and he really liked Divi as a new addition. It felt familiar but was its own story. He really enjoyed trying to solve the mysteries. He’s very excited for the next book.

INFINITY'S SECRET returns us to the world of Dragon Realm, but this time it's five years on after DRAGON DESTINY and the human and dragon realms have become one and something new.

Katie described this series to me, last year, as "dragon avengers" and that certainly feels right. There is a new force of dragons and humans working together to save the world, and our heroes join that group. There's a "magic school" vibe to it, with the heroes exploring the world of Camp Claw where humans learn about dragons, magic, and fighting. And there's a big bad lurking in the background.

The big bad is, at first, no seen, just their presence felt through things going wrong without a reason why. There's a pressing feeling that "something is bad and will get worse" - I really enjoyed trying to piece it together. (And when it was revealed! Eeeeee, it's way too spoilery to talk about but !!!!)

The narrator of this book is Lance, whose sister Zoe gets the heart bond and her powers so quickly. I loved that the book explores the mixed feeling of happiness for another and jealousy and not having that yourself. Lance watches his little sister get everything he's dreamt of with no way of knowing if he will get the same.

While this is a new series, it is also a continuation of the previous, showing what happens to the world after it changes so drastically. This means that Billy and the crew from that series are here, as mentors rather than the focus. It's so nice to be with familiar friends again even if we spend most of the time exploring with a new cast.

And the ending! I need the next book right now, thank you.
