Night Buddies,
Impostors, and One Far-Out Flying Machine, the second book in the Night Buddies series, has a ton of
mischief going on all over the Borough, done by a red crocodile and causing
confusion and hard feelings everywhere.
About the Book:
For young John Degraffenreidt, lying awake at night is no
reason to fret when it brings a bright red crocodile named Crosley out from
under his bed. Night Buddies like Crosley promise a big adventure to any kid
not sleepy yet--and tonight is no different! Out of bed, and into the city,
John starts on a very special Program (Night-Buddies-speak for adventure) with
his crocodile friend. Crosley is a unique, wacky character, the only red
crocodile in the world for sure, but look-alikes have started popping up all
over town, committing crimes, causing confusion, and making Crosley crazy at
the sight of them. The imposters must be stopped, and Night Buddies John and
Crosley are just the ones to stop them! Stakeouts and wild chases in a
fantastic flying machine, far-out schemes to snare the imposters with the help
of old friends and new ones, and a never-ending supply of Crusted Crème
Fro-Madge frozen yogurt make for one totally super night.

About the Author:
Sands Hetherington, creator of the Night Buddies series of
chapter books is delighted to have published his second title, Night Buddies, Impostors, and One Far-Out
Flying Machine. Sands credits his son John for being his principal
motivator in creating Night Buddies. He and young John developed the Crosley
crocodile character in the series during months of bedtime story give-and-take.
They collaborated many nights on escapades starring John and Crosley, until
eventually it occurred to Sands why it was that Crosley was bright red. That
was when the first book came together. Now, Sands is pleased to announce the
second title in the series!
Sands is also a Civil War buff. He would like to spend a
month of evenings with common soldiers from both sides to see how they felt
about the business. And eccentric generals like Jackson, Sherman and Forrest,
and most of all Lincoln. Because Lincoln never gets to smile in his pictures.
Sands majored in history at the University of North
Carolina (Chapel Hill) and has an M.F.A. in creative writing and an M.A. in
English from UNC-Greensboro. He lives in Greensboro now, and hangs out with his
longtime friend Ann and their Saint Bernards Dudley and Maggie. He likes
visiting ancient Mediterranean sites in Turkey and Italy, and most of all
Greece.
