Twelve-year-old Jack Coughlin and his younger brother, Collin, and Collin’s friend, Danny, find a small wooden box that’s supposed to hold magic. A genie answers their call. But he hasn’t been out and about for years, and instead of flying them to the Space Center in Florida like Jack wants, the genie mistakenly sends them to outer space. On the eerie hidden moon of Anron, things are not what they seem—boys and girls can change shape, and pears hanging from trees unfold into flying dragons to carry them into battle. When the magic box is stolen from Jack, he must figure out a way to get them all safely home. But first they must help their new friends and the People of Light. An exciting adventure story for middle-grade boys and girls!
Be sure to read the next books in the series: Return to the Hidden Moon, and Trouble on the Hidden Moon where more adventures await the boys and their two new moon friends, Nidar and Karna.
J. S. Keim (Judith Keim) enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their two dachshunds, Winston and Wally, and other members of her family.
While growing up, she was drawn to the idea of writing stories from a young age. Books were always present, being read, ready to go back to the library, or about to be discovered. All in her family shared information from the books in general conversation, giving them a wealth of knowledge and vivid imaginations.
Ms. Keim is a hybrid author who both has a publisher and self-publishes. In addition to her children’s books, as Judith Keim she writes best-selling, heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way. Her best-selling books are based, in part, on many of the places she's lived or visited and on the interesting people she's met, creating believable characters and realistic settings her many loyal readers love. Ms. Keim loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her stories.
