About this audiobook

With an extraordinary gift for suspense, McKissack brings us ten original, spine-tingling tales inspired by African American history and the mystery of that eerie half hour before nightfall—the dark-thirty.

About the author

Patricia C. McKissack (1944-2017) was the award-winning author of over 100 books for children, including Mirandy and Brother Wind, Nettie Jo's Friends, and A Million Fish . . . More or Less. She wished she could have talked to her hero, Frederick Douglass, about his rise from slavery, his daring escape, and freedom--at last! McKissack also frequently collaborated on books with her husband, Fredrick. She is survived by her three sons.

Acclaimed artist Brian Pinkney is the illustrator of several highly praised picture books, including The Faithful Friend, In the Time of the Drums, and Duke Ellington.
