Six stories relate to the darkness and the wonder of staying up all night.
Libba Bray writes about four best friends going to a concert and looking for the band’s after party. When they need a
place to crash, they spend the night at one girl’s father’s new apartment, almost exposing a huge family secret.
The family in Peter Abraham’s story attempt to move on after the death of a loved one, but can they reach him from
beyond the grave before they let go?
David Levithan explores one girl’s search to let go of social politeness and to find herself in the darkness of the night.
These six stories (the remaining written by Patricia McCormick, Sarah Weeks, and Gene Luen Yang) will make readers
think of the nighttime and all of the secrets and power it possesses.
Read these tales after dark.
