The dragon's out of the bag in this urban fantasy series, where a boy from Brooklyn is on a mission to help magical creatures! This magical boxed set includes books 1 to 3 of the critically acclaimed series by award-winning author Zetta Elliott.

There are two rules when it comes to the dragons: don't let them out of the bag and don't feed them anything sweet!

When Jaxon is sent to spend the day with a mean old lady his mother calls Ma, he finds out she's not his grandmother—but she is a witch! She needs his help delivering baby dragons to a magical world where they'll be safe. Read about Jax's first three adventures in this collection!

This boxed set includes:
#1 Dragons in a Bag: An epic fantasy in which Jax must deliver baby dragons to a magical world where they’ll be safe.
#2 The Dragon Thief: Stealing a baby dragon was easy! Hiding it is a little more complicated.
#3 The Witch's Apprentice: The baby dragons were returned to the magical realm . . . but things don’t seem quite right!
