Why read it?

2 authors picked To Night Owl from Dogfish as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

An entire book group of girls decided to try sleep-away camp after reading this hilarious title. Constructed entirely of emails between anxious Avery Bloom (NYC) and gonzo Bett Devlin (Los Angeles), it’s about an unlikely friendship that is aided-and-abetted by the existence of the Internet and summer camp…and theatre…and love-at-first-sight…and unvarnished truth.

From Danielle's list on for a 5th-grade book group.

For fans of the Parent Trap, I highly recommend this read. Told all through emails, we get to see the lives of two campers—and their fathers—intertwine. You can’t help but fall in love with all the characters of this story and root for them as their schemes for romance get foiled. The voice is so fun and I can’t wait to see what else this author puts out.

From Hope's list on experimental prose.
