Overview
Dive into the salt-spray adventures of the Alex Neptune series by David Owen, a bestselling four-book paperback collection following an ordinary boy who discovers extraordinary oceanic powers.

Ideal for confident readers aged 9-12, this set delivers page-turning fun from the first chapter to the thrilling finale.

About the Books
The Alex Neptune series begins with Dragon Thief, in which Alex, convinced the ocean has always been trying to kill him, is dragged into a daring heist to free an imprisoned water dragon from an abandoned aquarium, aided by his tech-genius friend Zoey, legend-loving Anil, and a motley crew of sea creatures. In Pirate Hunter, Alex is still mastering his new powers when Haven Bay comes under attack from pirates sailing a ship built from rubbish, hunting for the missing egg of the elusive water dragon. Monster Avenger raises the stakes further as a mysterious parasite infects sea creatures — including Alex's dragon friend — forcing Alex and his team to brave electric eels, furious crabs and raging storms, even venturing inside the dragon itself to save it. The series concludes with Zombie Fighter, in which a ghostly fog unleashes crab-riding zombies commanded by a vengeful pirate spirit, sending Alex, Zoey and Anil into three perilous bottle-trapped worlds to recover the only weapon that can stop them. Across all four books, David Owen combines fast pacing, inventive world-building and real emotional heart, making this a stand-out introduction to fantasy adventure for readers who love friendship, humour and high-stakes heroics.
