Ruben isn’t the loudest boy in his class. He isn’t the bravest on the playground either. But when a battered old helmet in his grandfather’s costume shop shimmers with strange light, Ruben is pulled into a junkyard sky where stars can fade and be saved. With a glowing creature named Sparky and a reluctant robot guide, Ruben must summon a quiet kind of courage to restore the Cosmic Engine before a world of starlight is lost forever. The Great Disguise Chronicles begins here – a story for anyone who has ever felt small, but carries courage, belonging, and wonder already inside them.
