Now it's up to Twist alone to save his friend. Twist and Jonas have grown close over the last few weeks, and learned to depend on each other. But when Jonas disappears suddenly, everyone but Twist forgets that he ever existed. Even Arabel believes herself an only child.

Terrified that he is losing his mind, Twist has no choice but to find out the truth. Is Jonas really in danger of being stolen away to Jupiter by dragons, or has he never been anything more than a figment of Twist's imagination? Follow Twist as he travels from London, over the North Pole, and through Japan to Australia, enlisting the help of old friends and new, and even one old enemy. Find out if dragons are real, or if Twist is finally cracking up, as he searches the world for any salvation from this maddening turn of events
