About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the pain of a friend making poor choices or joining the wrong crowd. While it is a fast paced fantasy adventure, the heartbeat of the story is the emotional difficulty of standing against someone you care about because it is the right thing to do. It provides a safe, metaphorical space to discuss peer pressure and the complicated nature of loyalty. In this installment of the Droon series, the protagonists face their toughest challenge yet: their friend Eric has been swayed by the villainous Gethwing. The group must work together to protect their world while holding onto the hope that their friend can still be saved. It is ideal for elementary schoolers who enjoy magic but are ready for more nuanced social dilemmas involving moral ambiguity and group dynamics.
