Dungeon Runners is Kieran Larwood and Joe Todd-Stanton's highly illustrated fantasy-adventure franchise for newly independent readers. It follows a team of young dungeon competitors through monster-filled trials, sky battles, ocean chases and fang-filled danger, with the structure and excitement of a child-friendly tabletop quest. The series is especially useful for readers who want the thrill of fantasy peril but still need short chapters, large clear type, jokes and plenty of visual support. It sits neatly between funny illustrated chapter books and heavier middle-grade fantasy.
A funny, fast and highly illustrated fantasy quest series for children who like dungeons, monsters, teamwork and child-friendly D&D energy.
