Yoto Says: Ravani's world flips when a crew of runaway kids shows up in Slaughterville—bringing friendship, secrets, and a whole lot of courage.

But Ravani Foster covertly witnesses their arrival from his bedroom window.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company Books for Young Readers.

Full of wonder, friendship, and mystery, The Midnight Children explores the meaning of "home," what makes a family, and what it takes to find the courage to believe in yourself.

Seven mysterious kids with suitcases step out of the vehicle and into an abandoned home on a dead-end street, looking over their shoulders to make sure they aren't noticed.

When Ravani learns of a threat to his new friends, he must fight to keep them safe or lose the only person who has ever understood him.

But with this friendship comes secrets revealed—and danger.

Timid and lonely, Ravani is eager to learn everything he can about his new neighbors: What secrets are they hiding?

From Dan Gemeinhart, the acclaimed author of The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, comes an extraordinary story about a family of runaways who take up residence in a small town and the outcast boy who finds his voice and his people—perfect for fans of.

And most mysterious of all...where are the adults?
