The Darkest and the Brightest (A True Book: Extreme Places)

Can you imagine going several days without any sunlight? Or days where the sun never sets at all?

Readers (Grades 3-5) will find out why these situations occur in certain places and how they can affect people's lives. They will also explore locations where the night sky is darkest and find out which places on Earth produce enough light to spot them from outer space.
