Three Hours Till Midnight
It is the evening of Myrna Dutkin’s 13th birthday, and according to tradition, she is going to receive a bedtime story. Tonight’s story, however, will break with convention. It is a true story. The only true story that’s ever been told on Deer Path Drive. Before the hour reaches midnight, (and the visitors arrive to take Myrna away!) the Dutkin family must convey the full truth about Myrna’s fantastic, unimaginable, star-crossed origin.
Perhaps the most extraordinary component of Three Hours Till Midnight is its compassionate theme. Through crafty storytelling and clever plotline, the theme of good stewardship toward Earth’s animals evolves naturally and conscientiously. The characters in the story simultaneously face physical obstacles and psychological ones. While always entertaining, the narrative challenges its readers to look inward and reflect upon his/her own ingrained patterns of behavior.
A refreshingly unique YA fantasy series, Three Hours Till Midnight offers a rather down-to-earth message of good stewardship, veganism, and compassion for Earth’s precious animals.
