Books with title The Night Flyers

Before Pam's father left to fight in World War I, the two of them trained their pigeons to fly home at night, a time when most birds just want to sleep. This interests a stranger with a foreign accent who comes to town and offers to pay a lot of money for Pam's birds. But when Pam refuses to sell and some of her birds are later stolen, she suspects the stranger may be more than a simple bird enthusiast. He may be an enemy spy! Unabridged CD 3 CDs / 3.75 Hours

If you fall asleep within a twenty-mile radius of Twisted Pines without a dreamcatcher, chances are you’ll never wake up. The locals call it the sleeping death, doctors usually call it altitude-induced cardiac arrest, but it doesn’t matter, it’s still a one-way ticket to the afterlife.Liz Lawson always slept under a dreamcatcher. She even had one hanging from the rearview mirror of her Jeep, just to be on the safe side. She had no idea where it ended up the night she hit the moose, but for the first time she didn’t need it. Shawn Ericson, a gorgeous stranger, saved Liz from the monster trying to kill her in her dream, and changed her life forever. Shawn said Liz wouldn’t remember the dream, but Liz always remembered hers. When Liz found out Shawn was a Knight Flyer and part of a super-secret group whose mission was to save people from the monsters plaguing their dreams, she wanted to know why he kept invading her dreams and why she was the only non-knight who remembers them.The last few months of her junior year of high school are anything but boring as Liz battles the monsters in her dreams, learns she isn’t a typical sixteen-year-old, and deals with high school drama.This series has been rated PG-13 by Ann McCune, due to graphic violence, and clean young love.

This delightful illustrated book shows how every child has a vivid imagination and revels in one child's midnight adventures. A six-year-old boy finds adventure and escape through his nightly dreams; leaving his home to soar upon a moonbeam while his body remains asleep upon his homebound bed. Our 'nightflyer' sees amazing sights like the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, the pyramids, Mt. Fuji, and the Taj Mahal. He must hurry because his time of freedom is limited and soon will awaken. Spying a lovely desert isle, a peg-legged pirate challenges him to a fight and he manages to outwit the pirate and free the enslaved natives. The adventurer swims among the fish and coral, unaware the owl's eyes are beginning to close and the rooster is nearly about to crow. Dawn approaches and our hero must return to his own bed and reality. His mother hears about all his marvelous escapades and encourages him to have more wonderful adventures. He can hardly wait for the next night's flight and the freedom his dreams allow. Beautifully illustrated and written in gentle rhyme, this lovely storybook is a must read for any parent, child, or classroom in acquaintance with a genuine 'nightflyer'!
