Description

It's a cold, rainy night and a storm is outside
Rain beats on the window by Lily's bedside
She's scared of the dark so she shuts her eyes tight
She hates nothing more than the dead of the night

Tap. Tap. Tap. Comes a noise from the hallway ...

Will Lily conquer her fears? Will she conquer her fright? Will she conquer the ghouls in dead of the night?

Arthur McBain's irresistible rhyme and Tom Knight's cheerful illustrations are sure to entertain both children and adults. With thrilling suspense, a healthy dash of humour and a memorable surprise ending, In the Dead of the Night is destined to become a modern classic.
