| Dragon Slayers' Academy | comment |
So you're a medieval peasant boy living a typical medieval peasant life, until one day a traveling minstrel tells you that you're destined to become a hero. What do you do? Enroll at a school for dragon slayers, of course! It's not all it's cracked up to be, though; the food is terrible, the teachers are kind of weird, the headmaster cares more about gold than the welfare of his students, and on top of all that, there's the frequent encounters with a wizard who can't do anything right. This is the premise of Dragon Slayers' Academy, a series of children's books by Kate McMullan. The series chronicles the strange (and occasionally downright improbable) adventures of Wiglaf, a student at the eponymous Dragon Slayers' Academy. | |

One-Gender School | |
| Dragon Slayers' Academy / int_1858696 | comment |
One-Gender School: DSA starts out as an all-boys' school, which is why Erica disguises herself as a boy so she can attend. This is eventually subverted after it becomes a co-ed school (purely so Mordred can make more money from more students attending), which allows Erica to be open about her gender. | |

Anachronism Stew: There's a lot of this, in case the fact that the books are set in a school during the medieval period didn't tip you off. | |

Massive Numbered Siblings: Wiglaf has twelve of them. Then there's Seetha, who has 3684 children. They don't call her "the Mother of All Dragons" for nothing! | |

Pig Latin: Daisy (who is an actual pig) speaks Pig Latin because Zelnoc messed up a spell that was meant to turn her into a Talking Animal. In Pig Latin — Not Just for Pigs!, King Ken also ends up speaking Pig Latin after yet another messed-up spell, courtesy of Zelnoc. | |
