Sands Hetherington has released Night Buddies Go Sky High – the third book in the highly regarded, fun-filled children’s book series.

 

Kids will be looking for UFO’s everywhere with this wonderful, exciting adventure tale filled with suspense, laughter, and fun so good they’ll happily go to bed with their flashlights underneath the bed covers, giggling with delight.

 

Night Buddies revolves around the nighttime adventures of a young boy named John, who is not ready to go to sleep, and a bright red crocodile named Crosley who turns up under John’s bed each night. With an imaginary language unto their own and a unique set of technological gizmo’s this unlikely pair sneaks out of John’s house using Crosley’s I-ain’t-here doodad, which makes them invisible to John’s parents.

I received a copy of this book and my son really enjoyed it! It took me a couple of chapters to get into the imaginary language but my son found it entertaining from the start. He thinks the characters and the language they use is really funny. My  son says he recommends for 3rd grade and up. (He is 11). I do think that it is very unique and quite creative! A great Summer read for kids this Summer!

You can find it at Amazon.com.
