The fictional book “The Midnighters: The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld” was interesting in its style and storyline.

Night Paper Assignment Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a tragic memoir that details the heinous reality that many persecuted Jews and minorities faced during the dark times of the Holocaust.
