For Nicholas, his grandfather is his hero, his closest friend, his mentor. And he can't wait one more day to come over for summer vacation. Upon arriving at his grandparent's house, Nicholas discovers grandpa is short-tempered to both him and grandma. His behavior is noticeably odd. What's worse, grandpa no longer seems to want to do anything until Nicholas starts to talk about the one topic that Grandpa can't resist The stars. Nicholas makes them his summer science project. The night sky seems to bring back the closeness of the two and even gets Grandpa to tell his stories, including one about the dragon in the sky.
The dragon, he explains, is there to guard the stars. They are the fragments of paradise. According to an old legend, should anyone be able to slay the dragon, they could steal the stars and return paradise to earth. There would be no unhappiness, no sickness, no death.
When Nicholas is told that Grandpa is dying, he goes off to do what any 10 year old would do to save his hero. He sets off to slay a dragon. What he finds this summer is more powerful than a dragon, inescapable reality.
