From the creators of the bestselling Franklin's Flying Bookshop, Jen Campbell and Katie Harnett, comes another charming tale about two book-lovers, Franklin and Luna.

Franklin and Luna Go to the Moon is a delightful story featuring Luna and her best friend, Franklin the dragon, who both share a love for stories and an eagerness to explore the places they've read about in books. However, despite their extensive reading, they remain puzzled about one thing: where do dragons come from?

Franklin, now 605 years old, can't remember the answer himself. Their quest to solve this mystery takes them on a fruitless search, until one evening, Luna's observant tortoise, Neil Armstrong, notices something intriguing far away in the sky.

With curiosity piqued, the trio embarks on their most thrilling adventure yet, travelling all the way to the moon. Their mission is to help Franklin reconnect with his long-lost family in this heartwarming and enchanting tale.
