Book #9 in the Stella Batts series
A third-grader spends the night at her school's library with her class, but things take a strange turn when a mysterious cat appears, leading to a series of events that challenge her perceptions of reality and friendship.
Stella Batts is thrilled about her class's library sleepover prize. But excitement turns to fear when she discovers an old book by an author sharing her name. As night falls, strange events unfold, including an unexpected visitor, challenging Stella's bravery. Can she unravel the mystery before dawn, or will the dark prove too daunting?
Are you afraid of the dark? Stella Batts never thought she was. In fact she’s not feeling afraid of anything right now. She’s just excited. Her class read the most books out of every class in school. The prize is a sleepover in the library. What could be better than that? Everyone is in pajamas, even the teachers. The kids break off into groups to go on a scavenger hunt. That’s when Stella finds a really old book by an author who is also named Stella B. Though the subject matter is nothing this Stella would ever write about. And then there’s an unexpected visitor who shows up in the middle of the night. Stella doesn’t know what to think, but she knows one thing for sure–she’s scared of the dark now!
