We are so honored to be partnering with such an esteemed publisher to bring exciting new learning-based content to kids, while also adding a fun digital element to the book series," says David Lord, chief executive officer, JumpStart. "Not only will the books feature content from ‘School of Dragons,’ each book will include exclusive digital codes that are redeemable for items including a Viking armor set, and a special dragon egg within the game–making each book a unique collectable for fans."

The first two books in the series–School of Dragons Volcano Escape! and School of Dragons Greatest Inventions–are slated to launch Sept. 6.
