Book Launch | ‘Avis and the Call of the Kraken’ by Heather McQuillan

Avis’s life is complicated. Humbert the chocolate-eating dragon is getting bigger and more demanding and wants to test his wings, but he’s distracting Avis from her schoolwork. Then, on one flight, they see a disturbance in the ocean near an oil-drilling rig and Avis and Humbert start receiving strange signals. The words follow: Stop them. It’s a Kraken and she’s called Mother. Her offspring are bent on revenge because the drilling rig is wrecking their ocean home, and Mother needs help.

A fantasy adventure bristling with Kiwi courage and can-do – both in the face of an environmental disaster and the antics of a chocolate-deprived dragon.
