Nightbooks is a great introduction to spooktacular stories!It was filled with fantastic snippets of fairy tales, new scary stories and really great characters.
loved book could not put it down, read it in one day!
When I looked at the blurbs for this book I got the impression that it would end up as a sort of scary story anthology loosely held together by a Scheherazade frame. I was wrong. This is much more interesting than only that, in terms of being a fully realized tale, and while it's somewhat predictable it ends up being more like a clever and engaging improvisation on Hansel and Gretel.MILD PREMISE SPOILER. Our hero, Alex, has drawn the attention of his teachers and school counselor because he loves writing creepy, scary short stories. The kind with grim reapers, death portents, ghosts and ghouls, and the like. Alex thinks of himself as just a budding writer with a taste for the macabre, but he is a little worried that he might be on a path to actually becoming the weirdo his teachers suspect he is. Isn't that an interesting take on being the school outsider? Anyway, just as Alex resolves to change his ways he is captured by an actual witch, and figures out that he can only survive his captivity by providing his witch captor with a new scary story every night. (She's used up every other printed scary story, and she craves novelty.) So, the irony of now having to write scary stories after having just resolved not to is not lost on either Alex or the reader. It is Alex's struggle to figure out who he is and what he wants, and whether to give himself up as a writer to his muse, (and how to write stories under a very literal deadline), that adds punch and an interesting underlying tone to the adventure.That aside, the book has a number of strong suits. White can create an atmosphere of creepy dread with the best of them, (see his "Thickety" books), and he shows that off right in the first chapter as he creates the scariest and creepiest fourth floor in the history of New York City apartment buildings. (Well, not "Rosemary's Baby" creepy, but you get the idea.) The same can be said for the witch's lair, which exists somewhere outside of reality. The witch is sort of a modern witch, but drifts seamlessly from old school witchiness to internet savvy witchiness, which is handled with great style. On top of that, of course, is Alex's attempts to escape. There is suspense here and clever world building and plotting. Eventually the book has to commit to resolving that major point, and so it becomes at the end a fantasy/adventure/escape fairy tale, but that's fine because everything has to wrap up somehow.As to those scary tales, we only hear a few of them and they're pretty brief. This is not at all an anthology of scary stories and, to me, the scary stories were the least interesting part of the book. I suspect young readers will like them, but they end being more like chapter breaks rather than central to the book.What is central to the book is Alex's growth as a person, as a writer, and as a confident actor. The other person trapped in the lair, Yasmin, becomes an important character as she and Alex bond, and strong themes of friendship and loyalty are developed as part of that development. Yasmin is also deadpan funny in a tough girl fashion, so she adds spice and energy to the project.The upshot is that this is a more ambitious and accomplished book than it first appears. It may be aimed a bit younger than the "Thickety" series, but it is well done and offers a young reader a bit of a thrill, a call out to old school fairy tale witches, and some interesting character themes to think about. That struck me as a nice combination.(Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)
The story centers around a young boy named Alex who finds himself lured into a witch's lair (currently masquerading as an apartment) and is subsequently trapped, forced to write and read the witch scary stories every night. This premise hooked me immediately because it has a storytelling aspect much in the vein of Scheherazade, the fairy tale influence of fairy tales, and that dark, quirky undertone that you can readily find in middle grade books like Coraline and other slightly darker middle grade fantasy books.Nightbooks really comes through in the scary story department, not so much through the frame story, but within Alex's own stories and a few additional surprising elements throughout the book. When Alex reads his stories to the witch, the reader also gets to read and experience them. I don't generally enjoy reading stories or documents within a book, but I genuinely enjoyed reading all of Alex's short scary stories. They were perfectly creepy in ways that were appropriate for kids, but also still unsettling enough for adults such as myself to enjoy them. There is also a wide variety of surprises in this book that kept me entertained and guessing at every corner.Alex is an intriguing character. In a lot of ways, Alex is very similar to many other middle grade characters I've read, but there were definitely some things that set him apart in positive ways as well. His interest in the dark and scary side of movies and entertainment was one of them, and I really liked that White made his interest such a prominent role and example of it. I thought White did a wonderful job of showcasing that it's okay for kids to be interested in scary movies and monsters and that it doesn't make them "weird" for following their personal interests. I also liked seeing Alex's character grow, including how his insecurity grew into something more confident and sure as the story progressed.The only problems I had with this book are actually hard to put my finger on. There were moments where the narrative just felt a bit lacking and some scenes acted as fillers instead of substantive. I was also a little thrown by how easily Alex felt comfortable at the apartment at times and almost looked forward to having her listen to his stories. I also found the witch a little lackluster; she's supposed to be scary and powerful--and she certainly does seem powerful--but I really didn't find her all that intimidating and it was hard for me to understand the fear that Alex and another character he meets, Yasmine, had at times. Despite these issues, it's still a strong and enjoyable story that I'd recommend to any kid or adult who tends to like scary stories and movies--and who is always ready for a good story.Overall, Nightbooks is another success from J.A. White! I really can't wait to see what he writes next.
My 8 year old son would give this 5 stars but I deducted a star because it stalled in places and I think it’s too dark for the ages listed. Alex is a kid who likes the darker side of things until he finds himself trapped by a real witch. The only thing keeping the witch from killing him is that he writes really scary stories. In an ode to One Thousand and One Arabian Nights he has to tell the witch Natacha a new story everyday. There is another girl, Yasmin, who has been captive even longer and is very wary of Alex. The witch has a cat Lenore who also spies on the children. My son’s favorite parts were the stories that Alex would tell the witch. Those stories were actually much better written than the book itself but very dark. I mean DARK. Like children dying or being possessed dark. My son enjoys scarier stories but this is not a book for a sensitive child. The actual story is nowhere near as dark as the stories within the book. Alex is trying to escape and get back home. Along the way we will get to the background of Yasmin and Natacha. For me the plotting was on the slower side at times but overall a story that I didn’t mind reading to my son. Except for the gross bug chapter. There is one chapter on the horticulture of magic plants that went awry that goes on far too long.
