Why read it?
1 author picked The Watch That Ends the Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Both books are multi-voiced and contemplate the same issues of privilege and class distinctions. Like me, Allan chose to listen to nature and endow her with a voice of her own.
From Ann's list on historical verse for middle schoolers.
