The moon dragon
When Eric and his friends finally return home from Droon, they discover that Gethwing, the moon dragon, has kidnapped most of the townspeople, including their parents, and is on the hunt for a magical object to become more powerful. Eric and his friends must rescue their parents and other adults in their hometown from Gethwing, the moon dragon. There's no place like home. Eric and his friends have finally restored the Rainbow Stairs, but that was the easy part. Now Gethwing is loose in the upper world, and the moon dragon is causing big trouble. Eric, Julie, and Neal have to protect their town, but they are up against mysterious creatures, strangely behaving parents, and powerful magic. Can the kids stop Gethwing before he destroys the upper world for good?
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fantasy, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book
This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.
Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.
Begin with its place in Fantasy, then notice where the book resists that label.
Read for connection, not completion.
Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.
Three questions to carry with you
- Which familiar part of life becomes easier to see through this imagined world?
- What rules shape the world, and who benefits from them?
- Where does wonder, fear, or possibility change a character’s choices?
