Inspired by Ted Hughes’ ‘The Iron Man’

When Rain hears the story of The Iron Man, she doesn’t want it to end. So, using her imagination, she continues the tale of the extraordinary dragon that lives on the moon and soothes humanity’s warlike nature by singing in the night sky. But the singing has stopped, the Moon Dragon has left its home and the armies are gathering to do battle once more. Rain starts her quest to find the Moon Dragon and stop another terrible war. On her fantastical journey, she meets many strange characters and finds that saving the world is not that easy after all! Will she ever find the Moon Dragon? Why have these strange characters presented her with gifts and what will she do as she stands between the opposing armies preparing for battle?
