Nightbooks

(3) 4-6 Alex, a boy imprisoned by a witch named Natacha, must tell her a spine-tingling tale every night. Alex's journals--his "nightbooks"--are full of spooky stories he's written, but when his material runs thin, he becomes more desperate to escape and starts planning to with fellow prisoner Yasmin. Themes of writing and storytelling, friendship, and self-acceptance are woven throughout this satisfying modern twist on Arabian Nights.
