Forever Night

When the sun disappears, one boy's courage becomes the kingdom's last hope. Lonely and orphaned, Caramath knows his life will never be a fairy tale. But when Shadow-Snatchers steal the sun and plunge the land into endless night, the cowardly king locks his gates and turns the villagers away to face the darkness alone. Caramath is the only one brave enough to lead them into the Forever Night in search of safety, aided by a princess who dares to defy her father's cowardice. What awaits them is a land of ancient magic, where forests swallow the fearful, sirens test the courage of all who pass, and a dragon's egg holds a secret that will change everything. But even with a heart full of courage, Caramath has no idea of the dangers, or the destiny that awaits him... A beautifully illustrated novel-in-verse for ages 7-10, perfect for bedtime read-alouds, reluctant readers, dragon-obsessed adventurers, and anyone who ever felt too small to matter. ¿¿¿¿¿ - "I read it with my 8-year-old daughter who wanted to stay up past bedtime to find out what happened next." ¿¿¿¿¿ - "Caramath is such an admirable character: brave, honest, caring, and ethical." ¿¿¿¿¿ - "The cast of characters was fabulous - Sirens, Dragons... and the ending was the best ever."
