About This Lesson
Neil Gaiman meets How to Train Your Dragon in this beautifully illustrated middle-grade novel about a boy, his dog, and his best friend as they race to save the stars before their light is extinguished for good. Now in paperback!
When the world first formed, the night was black and filled with dark creatures. The Elders knew their people couldn’t survive such a threat. To keep the evil at bay, they gave their hearts to the sky in the form of stars.
Now, eleven-year-old Kyro is a Star Shepherd like his father. He's spent his life tucked away in the small town of Drenn. There, the family watches the night sky for falling stars—and rushes to rescue them when they do.
One night, too many stars fall all at once, disappearing before they can be saved, and Kyro’s father journeys to report the calamity. When he doesn’t return, Kyro, with the help of his best friend, Andra, and his trusty dog, Cypher, must find a way to save the stars before the dark creatures make their terrifying return.
