If Stan Pollux had known he would be spending his summer holidays in the outer reaches of our solar system, he would have put on different underpants. But when he gets kidnapped by the Planet Dragon Mercury, most things suddenly seem small and insignificant. Stan finds himself in a universe of dragons who had once ruled the skies as gods: Mars, Venus, Saturn and even Uranus way out back. This is shaping up to be the best summer holiday in the history of the cosmos until Stan discovers his stupid sister is missing and that Pluto (AKA Hades) is trying to use her to destroy the Solar System. And it will be all Stan s fault if he doesn t get Poppy back. So, all Stan has to do is learn how to fight like a hero in space armour, defeat the dragon god of the Underworld, Hades, rescue his sister and save the world. All before his parents realise she is missing.
'A breath-taking adventure' Jennifer Killick, author of Crater Lake
Readers' Comments: "This is an exciting space adventure but with dragons, not spaceships. I liked the boy, Stan. He was brave and often funny. I also liked how he looked after his little sister even though he thought she was annoying." Boy, aged 12. "Lots of myths and legends in this fun dragon adventure for 9 12 yr olds. Strong protagonist, a good moral about family and a wild adventure for kids to enjoy. Theres also a little humour in there too which all kids love." Primary teacher, aged 43. "I liked how the dragons were all different. I also liked that so much happened all of the time. The ending was exciting." Girl reader, aged 11. "A bit slow at the start but then when the dragons turned up it was much better. I thought the picture on the cover was hard to make out." Boy, aged 11
