Descripción: A cozy sibling conspiracy unfolds at midnight At the stroke of midnight, Milly wakes up her big sister, Becca. It’s time for Milly’s first Midnight Club adventure! With Becca leading the way, the siblings explore the hidden wonders of their house in the dark. They dip into Dad’s jar of jelly beans, try on Mom’s coat, and make more mischief with the help of the Midnight Club president (their cat, Oliver!). Exhausted from their midnight expedition, Milly is ready to head to bed, but not before she remembers the club’s most important rule: The Midnight Club must be a secret! The sisters quickly clean up before settling into bed. But they might have left a few clues behind … This charming midnight romp celebrates the special bond between siblings with a mischievous but safe spirit. Playful details like The Midnight Club hand signal and the special club rules are sure to inspire readers to plan their own at-home adventures. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2-In this endearing tale, Becca and her younger sister Milly convene the Midnight Club at the titular hour and begin a night of tiptoeing, snacking on their father's jelly beans, letting the President of the Midnight Club, their cat Oliver, into the house, and more. With just the right amount of spooky-Count Plant-ula is a houseplant in shadow play-this adventure relies on creaky stairs and all manner of rebellion: sitting in their father's chair, wearing their mother's coat, and simply drinking in the beauty of the living room bathed in moonlight. Kang gives the girls pink, pale skin; black eyes; and glossy black hair, and gracefully wields various perspectives to show them from above, or to exaggerate long corners and tall staircases. The lyrical text captures the conversations between the siblings and the emotions they roll through, from the excitement of discovery to exhaustion as the hour grows late.
