Marmaduke and Meg are best friends, and have been forever. They live in a kingdom where everyone does what's expected of them ... everyone except Marmaduke and Meg. They're different, and being different together is what they love doing the most. As word of Marmaduke and Meg spreads across the kingdom, things slowly start to change - princesses, dragons, princes and knights all want to make friends with Marmaduke and Meg, and be different with them. After a while, Marmaduke and Meg are ... popular. Maybe even too popular. Because Marmaduke is so popular that he doesn't seem to have any time for Meg. And Meg starts to feel a little bit left out. Will she build up the courage to tell Marmaduke? And will he listen? A story about friendship, fights and finding the person we really want to be. From the team behind Marmaduke the Very Different Dragon.
Marmaduke's not like all the other dragons - his ears are too big and he never even tries to fly. He just doesn't fit in, however much he wants to, and so he feels terribly lonely.And Princess Meg? Well, she wears trainers and breaks into dance at the most inappropriate of times, which means that she sticks out like a sore thumb. She doesn't really have any friends, but then she's far too busy having fun to notice . . . Until one day when Marmaduke and Meg's lives collide in the most exciting, brilliant and surprising way and they both realise just how much they need each other.And, who knows, maybe a princess and a dragon will make the most perfect best friends.
