Five Kingdoms #3: Crystal Keepers
ALICE HOFFMAN
NIGHTBIRD
A WORK OF MODERN FOLKLORE
“[Nightbird] is like reentering a wonderful dream that you vaguely remember.”
—Lois Lowry, two-time Newbery Medal-winning author of The Giver
In her first novel for middle-graders, bestselling author Hoffman tells a bewitching
story of love and friendship that is truly magical. Hoffman is the author of more than 30
bestselling works of fiction, including Practical Magic, Here on Earth, the highly praised
historical novel The Dovekeepers, and most recently, The Museum of Extraordinary
Things. Her books for teens include Green Angel, Green Witch, Incantation, The
Foretelling, and Aquamarine.
You can’t believe everything you hear, not even in Sidwell,
Massachusetts, where every person is said to tell the truth
and the apples are so sweet people come from as far as New
York City during the apple festival. There are rumors that a
mysterious creature lives in our town. Some people insist it’s
a bird bigger than an eagle; others say it’s a dragon, or an
oversized bat that resembles a person. Certainly this being,
human or animal or something in between, exists nowhere
else in this world. Children whisper that we have a monster
in our midst, half man, half myth, and that fairy tales are real
in Berkshire County. At the Sidwell General Store and at the
gas station tourists can buy T-shirts decorated with a red-eyed
winged beast with “Visit Sidwell” printed underneath.
Every time I see one of these shirts in a shop, I casually drop it
into the garbage bin.
10
In my opinion, people should be careful about the stories
they tell.
All the same, whenever things go missing the monster is
blamed. Weekends are the worst times for these odd thefts.
Bread deliveries to the Starline Diner are several loaves short
of the regular order. Clothes hanging on the line vanish. I know
there’s no such thing as a monster, but the thief has struck my
family, as a matter of fact. One minute there were four pies
sitting out on the kitchen counter to cool, and the next minute
the back door was left open and one of the pies was missing.
An old quilt left out on our porch disappeared one Saturday.
There were no footprints on our lawn, but I did have a prickle
of fear when I stood at the back door that morning, gazing into
the woods. I thought I spied a solitary figure running through a
thicket of trees, but it might have only been mist, rising from
the ground.

No one knows who takes these things, whether pranks are being played,
or someone—or something—is truly in need, or if it is the creature that
everyone assumes lives within the borders of our town. People in Sidwell
argue as much as people do anywhere, but everyone agrees on one thing:
Our monster can only be seen at night, and then only if you are standing at
your window, or walking on a lane near the orchards, or if you happen to be
passing our house.
We live on Old Mountain Road, in a farmhouse that is over two hundred
years old, with nooks and crannies and three brick fireplaces, all big enough
for me to stand in, even though I am tall for twelve. From our front door
there’s a sweeping view of the woods that contain some of the oldest trees
in Massachusetts. Behind us are twenty acres of apple orchards. We grow a
special variety called Pink. One of my ancestors planted the first Pink apple
tree in Sidwell. Some people say Johnny Appleseed himself, who introduced
apple trees all over our country, presented our family with a one-of-a-kind
seedling when he wandered through town on his way out west. We make
Pink applesauce, Pink apple cake, and two shades of Pink apple pie, light
and dark. In the summer, before we have apples, we have Pink peach berry
pie, and in the late spring there is Hot-Pink strawberry rhubarb pie, made
from fruit grown in the garden behind our house. Rhubarb looks like red
celery; it’s bitter, but when combined with strawberries it’s delicious. I like
the idea of something bitter and something sweet mixed together to create
something incredible. Maybe that’s because I come from a family in which
we don’t expect each other to be like anyone else. Being unusual is not
unusual for the Fowlers.
My mother’s piecrust is said to be the finest in New England and our Pink
cider is famous all over Massachusetts. People come from as far away
as Cambridge and Lowell just to try them. We bring most of our pies and
cupcakes to be sold at the General Store that’s run by Mr. Stern, who can
sell as many as my mother can bake. I’ve always wished that I was more like
her instead of my awkward, gawky self. As a girl my mother attended ballet
lessons at Miss Ellery’s Dance School in town, and she’s still graceful, even
11
Our monster can only be
seen at night . . .
when she’s picking apples or hauling baskets of fruit across the lawn.
But my arms and legs are too long, and I tend to stumble over my own
feet. The only thing I’m good at is running. And keeping secrets. I’m
excellent at that. I’ve had a lot of practice.
On most evenings and weekends we stayed at home and didn’t venture
out. That was our life and our fate and it wouldn’t do any good to
complain. I suppose you could call it the Fowler destiny. But it hadn’t
always been this way. I’d seen the photographs and the scrapbooks in
a closet up in the attic. My mother used to be different. In high school
she was on the track team and in the theater club. She always seemed
to be surrounded by friends, ice-skating or having hot chocolate at
the Starline Diner. She raised money for Sidwell Hospital’s children’s
center by organizing a Bake-a-thon, baking one hundred pies in a
single week that were sold to the highest bidders.
When she finished high school she decided she wanted to see the
world. She was brave back then, and independent. She kissed her
parents good-bye and left town on a Greyhound bus. She was young
and headstrong and she’d dreamed of being a chef. Not someone who
cooked in the Starline Diner, which she did on weekends all through
high school. A real chef in a world-class restaurant. Pastries were
always her specialty. She ran off to London and then to Paris, where
she lived in tiny apartments and took cooking classes with the best
chefs. She walked along foggy riverbanks to farmers’ markets where
she bought pears that tasted like candy. At last she wound up in New
York City. That was where she met my father. The most she would tell
me was that a mutual acquaintance had thought they’d be perfect for
each other, and as it turned out, they were. My father was waiting for
her when her plane touched down, there to help her find her way in
Manhattan. Before the taxi reached her new apartment, they’d fallen
in love.
But they split up before my mother came back home for her parents’
funeral—my grandmother and grandfather had been in a car crash
in the mountains during mudslide season. It happened in the
12
Montgomery Woods, where the trees are so old and tall it seems dark
even at noontime and there are several hairpin turns that make your
stomach lurch when you drive around them. It was terribly sad to lose
my grandparents, even though I was just a little girl. I can remember
them in bits and pieces: a hug, a song, laughter, someone reading
me a fairy tale about a girl who gets lost and finds her way home
through the forest by leaving bread crumbs or following the blue-black
feathers of crows.
When we came to Sidwell I was in the backseat of the old station
wagon, which barely made it to Massachusetts. I was only a small
child, but I remember looking out the window and seeing Sidwell for
the first time. My mother changed our names back to Fowler from
whatever my father’s name was and she took over the farm. Every
year she hires people traveling through town who need work. They
pick apples and make the cider, but she does all the baking herself. If
she’s ever invited to a party or a town event, she writes a note politely
declining. Some people say we’re snobs because we once lived in
New York and we expect life to race by with thrills like it does in
Manhattan, and others say we think we’re too good for a little town
where not much ever changes. Still others wonder what happened to
the husband my mother found and lost in New York.
People in Sidwell can talk all they want. They don’t know the whole
story. And if we’re smart, they never will.
When we came home from New York I wasn’t the only one in the
backseat of the car.
That’s why we arrived after dark.

Pakistani-American author Saeed is one of
the founding members of the We Need More
Diverse Books campaign, and she delivers
here with a moving first novel for readers 14
and up. Naila is from a conservative Middle
Eastern family, living in the U.S. Her parents
have made some concessions as to how she
lives her life—hairstyle, career plans, etc. But
they will choose her husband. As it happens,
she has fallen for a boy named Saif, and when
her parents find out they are determined to
stop that relationship in its tracks. They take
her to Pakistan to visit family, and while there
find a husband for her, and insist that she
marry him right away. Naila must find a way to
reverse this plan. Interestingly the author, who
lives in Atlanta, is in an arranged marriage.

FRACTURED FAIRY TALES FOR STUDENT ACTORS
A Collection of Contemporary Fairy Tale Scenes
By Jan Peterson Ewen
These scenes are laugh-out-loud funny and clever, to boot! Based on familiar nursery rhyme characters, Ewen put
a comedic spin on their situations. For instance, ESPN newscasters are interviewing Jack out at the track where
he does his training for candlestick jumping. The 20 scenes are evenly split between five-minute scenes for 2 to 3
characters and ten-minute scenes for 5 to 20 characters. Most of the characters may be played by either gender,
and several scenes can be expanded to accommodate an entire classroom. Unlike most scene books, the table of
contents even indicates the cast size and genders along with a one line summary. Easy to use and fun for all ages,
you’ll love the colorful characters and creative situations in these short, hysterical scenes.

#65, The Almost Last Roundup, $5.99
Hank the Cowdog has seen dry summers in his years as the Head of Ranch Security, but
nobody on the ranch has seen a drought like this one! Ponds have dried up, the creek
is down to a trickle, pastures have turned to burned toast, and the cows are kicking up
clouds of dust. Then, to top it all off, Pete the Barncat hatches a dastardly plot to ruin
Loper’s birthday cake! The last thing the cowboys need is a prairie fire, but that’s what
they get, and it begins to look like the next roundup might be their last. What the ranch
really needs is a good rain to bring back the grass . . . and Loper’s good mood!

Dune Buggy Press Introduces a third title in its
7-times award winning Night Buddies chapter book series
It’s a Wild Ride Ahead For the
Night Buddies as They Go Sky High!
When young John Degraffenreidt and his red crocodile
buddy, Crosley, show up at the Pineapple Cheesecake
Factory and find Big Foot Mae lying on the floor,
staring up at her Great Star Puzzle on the ceiling, they
expect something’s afoot. Not surprisingly, Crosley is
craving a new supply of pineapple cheesecakes, but
what Mae points to on her ceiling will start the Night
Buddies on a totally new fantasy adventure, taking
them all the way into the stratosphere in their newly
modified racing blimp.
“Hetherington seems to have the right ingredients for a classic
children’s whodunit—talking animals, an unsolved mystery and
a brave hero willing to face unforeseen foes … Punctuating the
story are Love’s pencil sketches that boast just the right amount
of whimsy and adequately capture the spirit of Hetherington’s
eccentric characters.” — Kirkus
“An incredible, delicious word salad narrative style that absolutely
keeps the pages turning.” — Midwest Book Review
“A new and completely unforgettable and likable character in
Crosley, a bright red crocodile who happens to dwell under the
bed of the sleepless lad John.” — Grady Harp, Amazon.com

PAIGE MCKENZIE WITH ALYSSA SHEINMEL
THE HAUNTING OF
SUNSHINE GIRL
photo by: Levy Morashan
A NEW PARANORMAL SERIES BASED ON THE YOUTUBE SENSATION
The Haunting of Sunshine Girl series is packed with spine-tingling thrills and chills,
along with a good dose of “adorkable” humor. When Sunshine Griffith and her mother
move to Washington, Sunshine knows that something about their new house is just . . .
creepy. She and her new classmate Nolan decide to investigate what might possibly
be going on at the house. But what they discover is much bigger, and runs much
deeper, than they could have imagined.
Paige McKenzie began work on this tale in 2010 through episodic YouTube videos.
Within a few years, the series expanded and boasted viewership in the tens of
millions. She was named one of Seventeen magazine’s “Pretty Amazing” finalists.
Alyssa Sheinmel’s previous books for young adults include Second Star, The Stone
Girl, and The Lucky Kind.
The sound wakes me up. I’m not sure what time it is when I
hear it. Hear them. Footsteps. Coming from the floor above us.
I wasn’t sleeping all that soundly anyway. Usually when I fall
asleep after reading Pride & Prejudice I dream about Mr. Darcy,
but tonight, I was having really weird dreams. I saw a little girl
crying in the corner of a bathroom, but no matter what I said or
did, her tears kept flowing. I tried to put my arms around her, but
she was always out of reach, even when I was right beside her.
“What the freak?” I whisper, rolling over and reaching for Oscar.
Dogs’ hearing is supposed to be really good, so if he doesn’t
hear anything, then this is definitely just my imagination, right?
142
But Oscar isn’t on the bed anymore, and it’s pitch dark in here
so I can’t see where he is. He can’t be that far away, though,
because I can smell the wet-dog-smell of his fur, which hasn’t
fully dried since we got here. Suddenly, the footsteps stop.
“Mom,” I whisper, gently shaking her shoulder. “Mom, did you
hear that?”
“Hmmm?” she answers, her voice thick with sleep. She was
really tired after having driven so far. I should let her sleep. But
then the footsteps start again.
9781602862722 / $16.00 Hardcover / Weinstein Books
Oh gosh, maybe this house doesn’t feel creepy because it’s been empty for
months. Maybe it feels creepy because a crazed Defending Creepy 13 murderer
has been squatting on the floor above us, waiting for some unsuspecting
family to move in so that he could strangle them in their sleep. My heart is
pounding and I take deep breaths, trying to slow it. But it just gets faster.
The footsteps don’t actually sound like a crazed murderer’s, though. They
sound light, kind of playful—kind of like a child is skipping through the rooms
above us.
“Mom,” I repeat, more urgently this time. Maybe there really is a kid up there.
Maybe he or she got lost or ran away from home?
“What is it?” Mom says sleepily.
“Do you hear that?” I ask.
“Hear what?”
“All I hear is your voice keeping me awake,” she says, but I can tell she’s
smiling. “It’s probably just the cat,” she adds, rolling over and putting her arms
around me. “Go back to sleep. I promise this place won’t seem so creepy in
the morning.” She emphasizes the word creepy like it’s some kind of joke.
“It’s not funny,” I protest, but Mom’s breathing has resumed its steady rhythm;
she’s already fallen back to sleep. “It’s not funny,” I repeat, whispering the
words into the darkness.
The last thing I expect is an answer, but almost immediately after I speak,
I hear it, clearly and softly as though someone is whispering in my ear. Not
footsteps this time, but a child’s laugh: a giggle, light and clear as crystal,
traveling through the darkness. I squeeze my eyes shut, willing myself to think
about anything else: Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jane and Mr.
Bingley, even Lydia and Mr. Wickham. I try to picture them dancing at the
Netherfield ball (even though I know Mr. Wickham wasn’t actually there that
night), but instead, all I can see is the little girl from my dream, her dark dress
tattered with age, playing hopscotch on the floor above me. And again, I hear
laughter. A child’s laugh has never sounded quite so scary.
“Those footsteps.”
Before I know what I’m doing, I crawl out of bed and head for the stairs. If
143

there’s a little girl up there, she’s probably just as frightened as
I am, right? Though she didn’t sound frightened. I mean, she
was laughing.
I place my foot on the bottom step and look up. There’s nothing
but darkness above me. Oscar appears at my side, leaning his
warm body against my leg. “Good boy.” My voice comes out
breathless, as though I’ve been running.
I put my foot on the second step and it creaks. Then, there’s
nothing but quiet: no laughter, no footsteps, no skipping. My
heart is pounding but I take a deep breath and it slows to a
steady beat.
“Maybe it’s over,” I say. Oscar pants in agreement. Other than
our breathing, the house is silent. “Let’s go back to bed,” I sigh
finally, turning around.
Oscar curls up beside me on the air mattress, and I run my fingers
up and down his warm fur. I expect to lie awake, staring at the
ceiling, for hours. Instead, my eyelids grow heavy, my breathing
slows until it keeps time with Mom’s.
But I swear, just as I’m drifting out of consciousness, in that
place where you’re more asleep than awake anymore, I hear
something else. A phrase uttered in a child’s voice, no more than
a whisper:
Night night.

Q&A with Paige McKenzie
What made you want to turn the series into a book?
What was that process like?
I can tell such a better story on the page! YouTube is super fun, but it’s also
limiting. You can only do so much with a video camera and a budget of nearly
zero. I think we hinted at a much bigger story with the YouTube channel,
and now with the books, I’m actually able to tell that story. The process of
expanding the universe was interesting. I went back through old videos and
picked out the things I liked most or wanted to expand on more. Then I just
began working to make sure all the pieces fit and it was still an interesting
story that my fans who have been there from the beginning will enjoy. I think
I’ve done that so far.
Are there any paranormal or young adult authors
you’re drawing stylistic inspiration from while writing
the books?
I read a ton! Powell’s Books in Portland is a favorite haunt of mine. Get it? Ha
ha! I love Neil Gaiman, of course! Who doesn’t!? I’ve read pretty much every
Sarah Dessen book there is and recently discovered Anna and the French
Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, which I love!
Have you always loved spooky stories?
This might surprise you, but I’m kind of shy when it comes to stuff like telling
ghost stories around the fire. I guess I found my voice with the show and
now the books. The paranormal and spooky stories have always excited me,
maybe because I easily get freaked out, I don’t know! Whatever the reason,
I love that stuff. But I sure don’t watch very many horror films. Most of them
are just so scary!
Why should people who have watched the series read
the book when it comes out? Are there big differences
between the two?
Oh my gosh! I can tell you without a doubt that I’ve tried really hard to please
current fans of the videos while giving them so much more story and answers
that they’ve been wanting. They will immediately recognize the story but soon
be pulled into a Sunshine world they only saw hints of in the videos. I truly
believe that current fans of my YouTube channel will love the books. And before
long, the books will be in all-new territory in terms of Sunshine’s journey.
