Summary:
Ten-year-old Kinjal knows something strange is going on. But he does not expect his dog, Thums-up, to disappear before his eyes in the middle of the night! Even stranger, two enormous flying horses appear and insist on taking Kinjal and his twin sister, Kiya, to a place they have never heard of: the Sky Kingdom. They have come to this dimension to seek help--bees are disappearing, along with the nectar the horses need to survive. To see their dog again, they agree to help the horses.
