A nighttime story about fears, secrets, and creatures that hide in the dark will turn into a kind adventure. After lights out, the children tell each other scary stories, and only Ruby struggles to hide her fear. But trouble begins when the flashlight ends up with the teacher, and it must be returned at any cost. The night around comes alive: something stirs under the bed, socks disappear, strange sounds are heard in the dark, and the forest outside the window seems to be talking. Gradually, Ruby realizes that the world of night is filled not with horrors, but with amazing creatures and little wonders. She will have to face her fears head-on and discover that sometimes they become the best of friends.
