On the day of a rare super blue blood moon eclipse, twelve-year-old Amira and her little brother, Hamza, canât stop their bickering while attending a special exhibit on medieval Islamic astronomy. While stargazer Amira is wowed by the amazing gadgets, a bored Hamza wanders off, stumbling across the mesmerizing and forbidden Box of the Moon. Amira can only watch in horror as Hamza grabs the defunct box and it springs to life, setting off a series of events that could shatter their worldâliterally.

Or they might have to say goodbye to their parents and life as they know it, forever.â¦
