Overview
Garden Glen was afraid of the dark. Each night when the sun went down, all the lights in town turned on. The houses shone like the noon sun. Every house except for Millie Fleur La Fae's, of course. Millie Fleur knows there are enchanting things that can only be glimpsed in the dark. But ever since she moved to Garden Glen, her nighttime friends are nowhere to be found. Determined to welcome the dark back to town, Millie Fleur bakes delicious moon pies and plants a sweet-smelling moon garden. But before the night time creatures will return, Millie Fleur must convince the townspeople to be brave and turn out the lights. Millie Fleur Saves the Night is a delightfully peculiar story that encourages readers to find beauty in the darkness. A gorgeous companion to The New York Times bestseller Millie Fleur's Poison Garden, perfect for fans of The Dark by Lemony Snicket and Jon Klassen.

Reviews
"Praise for Millie Fleur's Poison Garden: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AN INDIE BESTSELLER AN INDIE NEXT PICK ""This dare-to-be-different picture book blends beautifully with the kids-to-the-rescue story...leaves readers with much to think about.""--Shelf Awareness, starred review ""A girl plants a fantastical idea...This charming, low-key tale celebrates those who unabashedly find unconventional things exciting...No poison here; just a garden of delights about someone who improves things in a unique fashion.""--Kirkus Reviews ""The sign at the entrance to Garden Glen boasts 'a picture-perfect place, ' a phrase that hints at the neighborhood's stifling conformity. But young Millie Fleur--who's vaguely reminiscent of Wednesday Addams in Mandin's measured, sepia-toned digital illustrations--changes all that when she and her mother move into a lone, decrepit gothic house on the edge of town.""--Publishers Weekly ""This charming picture book...pays homage to classic and beloved creeps like those featured in Frankenstein and The Addams Family while simultaneously creating its own...Young readers will leave inspired by Millie's refusal to hide what she loves."" --Bookpage"
