Bookroo's summary

Eric, Julie, Neal, and Keeah face a dire threat as Emperor Ko attacks Zorfendorf Castle. The fortress conceals the Fifth River, a secret passage to the Upper World. With Ko determined to seize this gateway, the friends must act swiftly to protect both realms. Will they uncover the castle's mysteries in time to thwart Ko's ambitions, or will the Upper World fall into peril? The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance as secrets unravel and alliances are tested.

From the publisher

With nearly 2 million books in print, this Little Apple series is H-O-T, hot. The SECRET is out – DROON is the series that kids, parents, and teachers are talking about! There’s only one passage between the Upper World and Droon – the magical rainbow staircase. At least, that’s what Eric and his friends have always believed. But now Ko and his beasts are attacking Zorfendorf Castle, a magical fortress that’s hiding a huge secret: the Fifth River, another passage to the Upper World. Ko will do anything to get to the river – and to the Upper World. And Eric, Julie, Neal, and Keeah will do anything to stop him!
