One amazing morning, Dr Griffin arrives at work to discover a package on her doorstep. A gift - how exciting! She opens the parcel and eagerly pulls out… a giant egg… a dragon egg! Unfortunately, Dr Griffin’s specialism is hamsters, not dragons. What is she to do? She needs help, and she needs it quickly, because the egg could hatch at any moment!
Luckily, she’s friend with Agent Turner from The Hive. She remembers that a little while ago, he mentioned that The Hive had a Mythical Creatures department. Who knows? They may be able to help…
Agent Turner gets SOOO excited when she calls him. A dragon egg? His friend Igor who is Head Vet at The Hive is going to love this! He adores dragons. But he’s going to need a team of trainees to help him... Dragons are hard work. They have to have the right kind of nest and they’re known to be fussy eaters; they also need lots of training to snort fire properly, and drink so much water. And that’s even before you start teaching them to fly!
Do you have the brains and bravery to come and help protect the young dragon? Don’t delay - the race is on to ensure Dr Griffin can safely release him into the wild!
