Illustrated by
Mark Graham.
When a blackout disrupts her sleepover, Sarah, who has been blind since birth, shows her cousins how to have fun in the dark. Although it's gratifying to see Sarah participate with her cousins and then take charge, the story is otherwise pedestrian and has stilted dialogue. The impressionistic paintings depict scenes in both light and darkness.
