In the second book of this illustrated middle grade series that’s The Bad Guys meets Amelia Fang, Bram and his merry gang of almost-villains must protect a forest of dragons before someone else gets to them first.

It’s the start of the winter season and there’s a new teacher in town at Villains Academy: the notorious dragon rider Felix Frostbite. Class Z is in awe of him and his lessons on venomous beasts and mythical creatures, but werewolf Bram is suspicious.

Soon Bram and his friends the Weirdoughs uncover Felix Frostbite’s evil plan to steal all the dragons from the Wicked Woods and leave Villains Academy undefended. Have the gang learnt enough to outsmart their troublesome teacher, or will Felix Frostbite’s heist go down in villain history?
