Bookroo's summary

When the lights go out, one boy's night is just beginning. From reading under the covers to sneaking cake from the kitchen, his imagination runs wild. What mischief awaits in the shadows?

From the publisher

What do you do when you’re in bed and the lights are out but you still can’t sleep? One boy finds plenty to keep him busy to keep him busy. First, he reads a little - under the covers with a flashlight, of course. Then, he sneaks into the kitchen for a piece of chocolate cake. Later, he listens to the rain and watches the nighttime shadows. What do you do when you’re awake when you should be asleep? Maybe you could be reading this book!
