It's Franklin's birthday! While his surprise birthday party is
being set up, Luna takes Franklin book shopping. They find a
padlocked book of fairy tales, which the bookseller tells them is
full of dangerous magic. Luna's tortoise, Neil, can't help picking
the lock... but when he peers inside, the book swallows him whole.
Franklin and Luna dive into the book to rescue Neil. They tumble
into cobwebbed forests and meet dusty fairy-tale characters who
have been trapped inside the pages for hundreds of years... This
follow-on from the highly sucessful Franklin's Flying Bookshop and
Franklin and Luna go to the Moon offers a witty and vivid
reimagining of well-loved fairy tale characters, bringing the magic
of classic fairy tales into the 21st century through exquisite
illustrations and a rhythmic, literary text.
Luna and her best friend, Franklin the dragon, love stories and
want to visit all the places they’ve read about in books. But for
all their reading they still don’t know where dragons come from.
And Franklin is now so old – 605 to be exact – he can’t
remember himself! They search high and low, but to no avail. Until
one evening, Luna’s tortoise, Neil Armstrong, notices something
far away in the sky… The three friends set out on their biggest
adventure yet – all the way to the moon – in the hope of
reuniting Franklin with his long lost family.

illustrations are a perfect match for the text, too' Jacqueline
Wilson Franklin the dragon loves stories and loves reading stories
to people too, but everyone is too scared to even look at him. One
day he meets a girl named Luna who, far from being scared, is
fascinated to meet Franklin, having recently read all about dragons
in one of her books. They instantly become friends and talk
non-stop about what they've read: books about roller skating, King
Arthur, spiders and how to do kung fu. Together, they hatch a plan
to share their love of books with others by opening a bookshop - a
flying bookshop, that is - right on Franklin's back!
A beautiful and poignant meditation on what makes a home from
Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant. There are so many things, both big
and small, that make a place feel like home. Home is where you
might have a special nickname or a special toy. It’s where you
might have a snack or a nap or a bath—or all three! Whether home
is a city apartment or a country cottage, it’s a place you want
to return to again and again. Celebrate all kinds of homes—and
all kinds of families—in this cozy, lushly illustrated ode to the
universal feeling of being at home.
It’s Franklin’s birthday! Luna and all the villagers are planning a surprise party, and Franklin’s family are visiting from the moon. While the party is being set up, Luna takes Franklin book shopping. They find a padlocked book of fairy tales, which the bookseller tells them is full of dangerous magic. Luna’s tortoise, Neil, can’t help picking the lock… but when he peers inside, the book swallows him whole. Franklin and Luna dive into the book to rescue Neil. They tumble into cobwebbed forests and meet dusty fairy-tale characters who have been trapped inside these pages for hundreds of years.
After several encounters and some narrow escapes, they finally find Neil – who has won a gold medal after racing a hare – and, all together, they break out of the book and into the real world. Exhausted but victorious, all the fairy-tale characters, Franklin, Luna and Neil arrive at Franklin’s birthday party. They’re not sure it’s a happily ever after, but they’re certainly very full of cake… and that will more than do for now.

I've put this story together from the diaries I kept when Zac and I
were children. I wrote them because I felt we were almost invisible
and I wanted to make sure our story was told, and also in the hope
that life would get better for the small unloved girl that was me,
and my even smaller unloved brother. And if life didn't get better
or at least more interesting I was going to make it up - to put in
witches and castles and rides in fast cars. But I didn't need to.
Life got exciting all by itself... It's 1987 and Ira and Zac are
being uprooted once again, this time to Skilly House, a home for
social care children. Their lives over the next few years are
beautifully realised amongst the antipathy of the authorities, the
drama of the poll tax riots and the moments of peace and hope Ira
finds at Skilly and further afield. This is a memorable and moving
tale about growing up, making friends and finding a home.
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. Luna and her best friend,
Franklin the dragon, love stories and want to visit all the places
they've read about in books. But for all their reading they still
don't know where dragons come from. And Franklin is now so old -
605 to be exact - he can't remember himself! They search high and
low, but to no avail. Until one evening, Luna's tortoise, Neil
Armstrong, notices something far away in the sky... The three
friends set out on their biggest adventure yet - all the way to the
moon - in the hope of reuniting Franklin with his long lost family.
