Luisa and Leo are happy to suddenly receive a mission for the Magical Protection Agency. Upon being summoned, they use a magical door to travel to Moonstone (a magical land), where they set out to solve the mystery of dragons having lost their fire. A fast-paced journey takes them through several challenges, before they solve the problem and save the day. This early chapter book features b&w illustrations that accompany the brief, quick-paced story with characters of Puerto Rican descent. Reads as simpler than Magic Tree House titles, and similar to Rainbow Magic books, with limited descriptions and a feel-good adventure.
