When the Turtle City of Droon vanished, all that remained was the Ruby Orb of Doobesh. Spar's powerful, magical red orb. Nobody knew then what evil the mysterious object held-but they are about to find out. Soon after Eric, Neal and Julie return to Droon, Max becomes a prisoner of the evil charm, and is whisked far away. Galen and Keeah are intent on finding him, and of course the kids want to help their friends. But to find the Ruby Orb, they must first locate its companion, the blue Sapphire Star. And that search will take them far out onto the wild sea in a epic voyage aboard the Jappa Wind. A voyage that could only happen in the magical world of Droon. In order to defend himself in Lord Sparr's evil underworld, Galen needs the powerful wand of Urik, a magic tool that's been hidden for years. Keeah and her Upper World friends attempt to find the wand by following the Moon Scroll, which has the power to take anyone who reads it back through time. "Max is missing! The furry spider troll has been mysteriously captured and no one knows where he is. Is it the work of the nasty Lord Sparr-- or someone else? All aboard the Jaffa Wind as Eric, Julie, Neal, and their crew of friends set sail to Max's rescue!"--P. [4] of cover.
