"Don't leave me." And then I kissed her. FROM THE AUTHOR: Continue reading through the epic fantasy series from young adult author C. S. Johnson, as fallen Stars/superheroes Wingdinger, Starry Knight, along with their dragon Elysian, fight evil as much as they fight with each other. Perfect for young teenagers or disaffected college students, or adults who enjoy some satire mixed in with some sweetness! WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING: Johnson really manages to make the main character's growth very believable.
Even starting from where he left of in the previous book it is clear that Hamilton Dinger - just like all the rest of us real human beings - still has a long way to go.  ~ Jake Yaniak, author of Morality is the Problem4 STARS! ~ Reader's FavoriteBy far one of my most favorite young adult book & audio book series!!! ~ Teresa, Mom to a teen and Goodreads Reviewer
