Mariam Hachmi

In the kingdom of Ramal, (a modern version of the 1001 Nights) where jet-powered flying carpets meet legendary beings straight out of Middle Eastern legends. Zayn is a young boy who has always dreamt of having an imago, and his wish will be granted if he can free Azrokh, an all-powerful imago who has been imprisoned in a magic lamp! But with great power comes great responsibility. Zayn and his friends (Shazemine, Zora and Bo) are about to be plunged into a super-dangerous adventure – the quest of the 21 Ultimagos – their only hope if they are to vanquish the Queen of the Shadows, their kingdom’s greatest enemy but whom they have accidentally released...

Based on the successful Azuro books, already translated into several languages, this action-adventure comedy series follows the escapades of three young dragons, Azuro, Oria and Vermilion, who comprise the dragon rescue squad. From their station base at the entrance to the fairy-tale village of Krakenstone, this trio of firefighter friends sets out to rescue magical creatures in distress, whenever the alarm is raised. And, whether it’s a gargoyle needing new glasses or a lost witch’s cat, they use their individual skills – eg Azuro shoots water from his mouth, not fire – to work together on each mission, doing whatever it takes to solve the problem in hand.

Taki is an adorable little tanuki who lives in the forest with her little sister, her parents, and her grandfather. Taki is learning the art of transformation, a magical power inherited from her family that she loves to use for fun and, above all, to make her daily life easier!
