A magical family uncovers more secrets, danger, and hidden gifts than ever before in this whimsical fantasy adventure, from the internationally bestselling author of How to Train Your Dragon. A Magical Creature lost far from home leads the four O'Hero-Smith children on another adventure through the Which Ways and across the galaxies; their plan is to get Grub back to the ice-encrusted planet where he belongs and to prove to their parents that they can be trusted with magic along the way!
