Not just the darkness, but the quiet, the loneliness, and the uncertainty. So, he begins a series of experiments to stop the night time from coming. His first attempt is to use light, then to turn back time. His final attempt is on a grander scale; he borrows the anchor from his grandfather\u2019s boat to anchor the ground to a tree &#8211; his theory is that this will stop the Earth from spinning so night won\u2019t come. When his efforts are unsuccessful, Luke is dismayed, so his father takes the family camping, where Luke can experience the wonder and beauty of a night under the stars.

She then goes on amazing adventures. Beautifully illustrated by Chelsea Wade, these stories that are woven around proverbs also teach valuable lessons and encourage lively discussions between readers and children. R120.
