Storming the Castle Bridge: The Perils of Star, the Prince and a Dragon

A young girl named Star is transported to an enchanted land and begins a search to find her courage. Star is searching for the courage and the knowledge to learn how to keep her word, when she gives it, which she too often has failed to do. With her brother, Ty, and their parents, Star's adventure begins when she and her family head off to a remote vacation cabin and she tumbles into a fantasyland where she meets unusual critters who accompany her on her journey as she innocently becomes ensnared in stopping a local war.
