From the publisher:
Every night, tiny stars appear out of the darkness in little Sandy's bedroom. She catches them and creates wonderful creatures to play with until she falls asleep, and in the morning brings them back to life in the whimsical drawings that cover her room.
With a Junior Library Guild Selection, a Little Maverick 2018 List nod, four-starred reviews, and love from booksellers, critics, and librarians alike, Nightlights is now available in paperback! Every night, tiny lights appear out of the darkness in Sandy's bedroom. She catches them and creates wonderful creatures to play with until she falls asleep, and in the morning, she brings them back to life in her whimsical drawings. When a mysterious new girl named Morfie appears at school, Sandy's drawings are noticed for the first time, but Morfie's fascination with Sandy's talent soon turns into something far more sinister.
