A Midnight's Tail

Your parents have gone to the ball for the night. You fall asleep dreaming of ships and horses only to wake up to the sound of claw upon stone and then a growl from the end of the hall… that leads to your bedroom door! What is this monster? What are you going to do? Daylight everyday noises can turn into a mysterious Midnight's "Tail"...

Sometimes everyday noises from a beloved family puppy turn into scary noises at midnight! Follow the fear-inducing “tail” of a little boy whose parents have left home for the ball. The story builds with the fear of what is to come…through the bedroom door! Written in poetic verse, Robin George’s tale will leave even adult-readers biting their nails to learn what happens next. Is A Midnight’s Tail a bedtime story? Yes, for those who like things that go bump in the night!

A Midnight's Tail is a rhyming, read-aloud worthy, book for horror-curious little ones that like a good scare…as long as there is a happy ending!
