What is it like to work on a Friday night while the rest of the city is asleep? There's the smell of lilacs in the night air, the dusky highway in the moonlight, and glimpses of shy nighttime animals to make the dark magical. Shooting baskets in the half-lit gym, sweeping the stage with the game on the radio, and reading out loud to his father in the library all help the boy's time pass quickly. But what makes the night really special is being with Dad. Newbery Medalist Karen Hesse's quietly powerful story of a boy and his father is tenderly brought to life by G. Brian Karas in this luminous tribute to an enduring, everyday sort of love.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Hesse\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous books for young people, including \u003ci\u003eOut of the Dust, \u003c\/i\u003ewinner of a Newbery Medal and a Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction; \u003ci\u003eThe Cats in Krasinski Square;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLetters from Rifka\u003c\/i\u003e.
