Book 9 of the Dragon Girls series, and book 3 of the Nights dragons. This is their final quest, Rosie, Phoebe and Stella (followed and guided by her sidekick: LuckyStar) work together to find and release the missing stars.

I really like the dragons and the fact that the authors are using a lot of nature and animals. The Tree Queen is very observant and chooses the dragon nest suited to each quest, mission based on their strength.

Final story of the Night Dragon trilogy- the girls have returned the twilight fixed the moon, but this time the stars have been stolen.

I was pleasantly surprised that, again, after such a repetitive start, this book had a slightly different take on the adventure. I loved the little stars who just want to be stars (like Hollywood/Broadway stars) and the positive messages that they weave through the books.

Definitely not a favorite series of mine, but these are pretty enjoyable and I imagine they will be reread several times.

My 8-year-old refused to finish the final chapter. I think she's over these books.

Did you know that Stella means star? I like the glowing star helper with a horn, so cute! I really love yellow, her wings are so beautiful. Everything about her is so beautiful.

My son really loves dragons and these stories. Even though they are centered around girl dragons he says he really enjoys the stories.
