The Nocturnals is a critically acclaimed middle-grade series for readers who love animals, adventure, and a hint of mystery. The books combine adventure, mystery, and imagination with real-life scenarios that are relatable to elementary and middle school children, particularly regarding the topics of bullying, confidence, friendship, and self-acceptance. The scenarios in the book are perfect ways for parents to segue into those sensitive topics with their young ones. There is one specific scenario, in one of the books, where one of the main characters (an aye-aye) feels like an outcast because of her unusual physical appearance. She masks her isolation and pain by being manipulative, aggressive, and threatening, further isolating herself. Through the course of the book, she and the other characters come to understand the consequences associated with miscommunication and that kind of behavior. This example (among others) hits home for a lot of middle graders.
The books are also supported by educational material (make-a-volcano, fill in the facts, face painting and more) designed by literacy experts, all available on the site for free.
