So when the dragonets seek shelter in the rain forest, Glory is devastated to find that the treetops are full of RainWings who nap all day and know nothing of the rest of Pyrrhia. Worst of all, they don’t realise—or care—that RainWings are going missing from their beautiful forest.

Childhood friends Eve and Andrew are destined to be together—everyone says so, especially their friends and classmates who are all suddenly crush-obsessed. So when Eve and Andrew’s first eighth grade school dance rolls around and Eve, feeling the pressure, awkwardly asks Andrew to go with her, everyone assumes they are Officially Dating and Practically in Love. Overwhelmed, Eve and Andrew just go with it. And it’s weird. Neither of them wants this dating thing to mess up their friendship, and they don’t really see each other that way. But they also don’t want to be the one to call things off, the one to make things super awkward. So they both—separately—pledge to be the worst boyfriend or girlfriend ever, leaving it to the other person to break up with them. It would be genius ... if the other person weren’t doing the exact same thing.
