A trip around a backyard becomes a daring adventure as three children tangle with a tiger, an Egyptian god, a one-legged pirate, and a giant squid before climbing back into their tree house, where we discover the inspiration for their exploits: books!
Flashlight Night is an ode to the power of imagination and the wonder of books. Three children use a flashlight to light a path around their backyard at night; in the flashlight’s beam another world looms. Our heroes encounter spooky woods, a fearsome tiger, a time-forgotten tomb, an Egyptian god, a sword-fighting pirate, and a giant squid. With ingenuity, they vanquish all, then return to their tree house—braver, closer, and wiser than before—to read the books that inspired their adventure.
