Then the basement
starts beeping.

Inside: his missing
grandfather’s helmet.
It knows his name. It asks if he accepts the mission.

Ibra.
One minute on Earth. Thirty on a planet under siege. And Grandpa is alive somewhere on it.
A forest that
glows in the dark.
A glowing forest under twin moons, home to the Avalunas and their three words: Create. Connect. Protect. Now someone is stealing the Lunaberries, and Ibra is going dark.
