Friends in the Dark

Adorable nocturnal animals take over the town while everyone else is sleeping in this candy-colored early graphic novel by an Eisner-nominated comics artist.When the sun goes down, most everyone in cozy Small Town falls asleep. Goodnight birds! Goodnight puppies! It’s sleepy time for all the cute cuddlebugs. Except for creatures like Kitkin, a cat who sleeps during the day and stays up at night. Kitkin’s adventures are just beginning, and tonight she’s headed to the movies with her friend Olive the owl. Kitkin tends to run late to everything, but she’s determined for them to make it to the movie on time. So, Kitkin and Owl take a “shortcut.” They figure the town will be quiet and peaceful at night—no problem! Little do they know that there are a lot of other Small Town creatures hanging around. Their path slows them down, but the friends they make along the way are totally worth it.
