YOU'RE INVITED TO A SPECTAULAR LIGHT SHOW!
Tonight is opening night for the Perseids Meteor Shower, and excitement is building across the city. As eager audience members gather beneath the stars, Moon prepares to direct the most spectacular show in the sky. The curtains are ready to rise, the constellations are waiting in the wings, and the meteors are prepared to dazzle the crowd with a performance they'll never forget.
But when the show begins, something goes terribly wrong.
Despite Orion's perfect pose, Pegasus's dazzling smile, and the meteors' breathtaking leaps across the sky, the audience can't see a thing! As confusion spreads and the performers begin to worry, Moon must uncover what's stealing the spotlight before the night's grand finale is ruined.
Can Moon save the performance and help the audience discover the wonders waiting above their heads?
