Great Reviews for NIGHT!

Great Reviews for NIGHT!

We are thrilled to receive another great review for NIGHT! School Library Journal says it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Here are excerpts from the three reviews.

“…easily understandable language for young readers….VERDICT Highly recommended. School Library Journal

“…accessible…immersive…historical development of ideas.” Kirkus Reviews

 

“Cheerful, childlike illustrations supplement Pattison’s especially adept work describing complex concepts in kid-friendly terms. . . Unique in coverage, this makes a great read-aloud and offers considerable STEM curriculum support.” Booklist 

NIGHT launches on July 7, 2026

You can order early - right now - on this website. Otherwise, it will be available widely in July.
