For fans of Neil Gaiman and How to Train Your Dragon comes a
beautifully illustrated, fast-paced adventure about eleven year old
Kyro, his best friend Andra, his trusted dog Cypher, and their race to
save the stars.
When the world first formed, the night was black and filled with dark
creatures. The Elders knew their people couldn't survive under such a
threat. So they made the ultimate sacrifice: they gave their hearts to
the sky in the form of brightly shining stars to keep evil away.
Now, eleven year old Kyro is a Star Shepherd like his father. He's spent
his life tucked away in the outskirts of the small town of Drenn. There
they watch the night sky for falling stars--and rush to rescue them when
they do.
Then one night, too many stars fall at once, and terrible dark creatures
start to appear in the forest by their home. Kyro's father journeys to
the Star Shepherd Council to report the threat. But when he doesn't
return Kyro must figure out how to save them himself before enough stars
fall for the dark creatures to make their return.
Kyro, along with his trusty dog, Cypher, and his friend, Andra, must
find the cause of the threat before it's too late.
Perfect for 5th graders and boys 10-14, young readers will devour this
fun, fantasy adventure if they love stories with:
- Drawings and illustrations
- Trusty sidekicks (especially the furry kind)
- Evil, mythical creatures
- Ancient robots
