Avi and Anna have always desired to adventure in space. Nonetheless, they do not have a means of transport. Thus, the duo decides to construct a spacecraft. They dedicate the next six months to do so. Ultimately, the spacecraft is finished, and off they go to space.

While in space, Avi and Anna see a purple moon and land on it. They decide to explore the moon by playing golf. Unexpectedly, the two siblings encounter a fierce dragon couple, Zona and Zola. Will Avi and Anna survive?

The best thing I enjoyed about the book was the mission and reason for writing it. I realized a portion of the money made from the book's sales is dedicated to cancer patients, particularly children. That touched my heart to the extent of shedding a tear.

In addition, I enjoyed the bold nature of Avi and Anna. They had a vision of traveling to space. The duo made time to create a spacecraft for their mission. The tale transported me back to childhood when my friends and I were innovative and creative enough to construct toys. The pictures captured in the story are challenging, fun, and striking.

I envied the relationship between Avi and Anna. The two siblings achieved everything together. And when the dragon couple approached them, Avi and Anna stood together. They were afraid, but they knew they had each other. Then there was an aspect of teamwork. The whole mission was a success because the two siblings worked together.

The novella is exceptionally well edited. I affirm this because there was not a single error. I noted nothing to despise; therefore, I award it 4 out of 4 stars. The idea of dragons fuming fire from their nostrils was thrilling. I found myself repetitively looking at those pictorials and smiling at them. I recommend Dragons on the Purple Moon by Peter G Martin to kids who love space adventures, especially on moons.

It's refreshing to read a story where children are making their imagined dreams come true by working together as Avi and Anna did.

This sounds like a very interesting book to read and the fact that some part of the money made from sales is donated to cancer patients makes it more beautiful

I'm really attracted to the book cover and the fact that part of the money generated from sales is to support cancer patients makes it even better.

This is a children's book that talks about how Avi and Anna built a spacecraft and traveled to space. The bold nature of Avi and Anna along with their teamwork was amazing. Thanks for the review.

You can't underestimate the power of your mind when you set it to achieve something. I also felt emotional when I understand the whole point of writing this book

Children usually get fascinated by space travel and dragons. A combination of both in one book is great. I believe children would love reading this. Great review.

This is a very awesome review.
It definitely asked back to my childhood days when I thought of was to travel to space .
Seeing a book describing that experience is thrilling and inviting.
Thank you for the review.
