A boy … a red crocodile … a collection of magic whatchamacallits … inventive characters … and an innovative new series of chapter books for kids.
Night Buddies revolves around the nighttime adventures of a young boy named John, who is not ready to go to sleep, and a bright red crocodile named Crosley who turns up under John’s bed. As the stories in each book open, this unlikely pair sneaks out of John’s house using Crosley’s I-ain’t-here doodad, which makes them invisible to John’s parents. They embark on their Program, the Night Buddies word for Adventure, and make their way around the Borough chasing down enemies and cleaning up the mishaps at hand.
The first book in the series is Night Buddies and The Pineapple Cheesecake Scare. The Program for the night is to find out why all of the pineapple cheesecakes in the world’s only pineapple cheesecake factory are disappearing.
These adventures after lights-out will delight any young reader who relishes an adventure/fantasy in the wee hours of the night.
Sands makes one thousand six hundred twenty-seven special Cheese Wulgers (his version of Yuletide cookies) every Christmas for his buddies that live close by. Everybody is crazy about the things except Crosley. He just likes them a whole lot. He settles for stuff like Ol' Sands' Cheese Wulgers when he can't have his pineapple cheesecakes! Stay tuned for more of what Ol' Sands is up to after he cleans up the kitchen, which may take until after the holidays!
