Retta, Johnny, and Roy have no parental rules to follow, so they'€™ve made up their own After their mother passes away, Retta, Johnny, and Roy don'€™t have much parenting in their lives. Their dad is a country singer who keeps them well fed but isn'€™t around much. Older sister Retta takes control, leading her brothers on all sorts of unwise adventures and promising that one day they'€™ll have money, safety, and a nice home. When their dad is away performing at night, they slip into a neighbor'€™s pool to swim and pretend to have a glamorous life beneath the light of the moon. But freedom doesn'€™t mean happiness, especially when a new crisis emerges. National Book Award winner The Night Swimmers is a moving story of siblings who can count on nobody but one another. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Betsy Byars including rare images from the author'€™s personal collection.
