Andrew Moore is not like other children. He doesn’t talk or run or jump. But he loves to smile and laugh—and go on the most wonderful outings! When he soars into the night sky to meet the constellations, his new friend Andromeda is taken by a sea monster. Andrew must team up with Pegasus, the flying horse, to help Andromeda. The boy isn’t as fast as Pisces, as powerful as Aries, or as brave as Perseus. How will he save the princess and bring happiness back to the kingdom?
