Neil Gaiman matches How to Train Your Dragon with this beautifully illustrated middle-grade novel about a guy, his trusted pup, and his best friend, as they race to save the stars before their light is extinguished for good. When the globe first formed, the night was dark and filled up with dark creatures. The Elders knew their people couldn’t survive under such a threat. So they gave their hearts to the sky by means of superstars to keep evil away. Right now, eleven-year-old Kyro is certainly a Celebrity Shepherd like his father. He’s spent his life tucked away in the tiny city of Drenn. There, the family members watches the night sky for dropping stars-and rushes to recovery them if they perform. When too many superstars start falling simultaneously, and disappearing before they could be saved, Kyro’s father journeys to record the threat. However when he doesn’t come back, Kyro, by using his best friend, Andra, and his trusty pup, Cypher, must find a way to save the stars before the dark creatures make a terrifying return.
