Overview

There's nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light. Ten-year-old April Ellis is spending a week of her summer in Collins, Mississippi, with relatives she hardly knows. Between eccentric characters, fried chicken lessons, and run-ins with the neighborhood troublemakers, April has plenty to navigate. But the hardest challenge of all? Facing the dark-and the fears that come with growing up. Full of humor, heart, and food you can almost taste, How to Fry Chicken & Ditch the Nightlight explores how a girl far from home discovers belonging, bravery, and the truth that there's nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light.
