The TV shuts off and a boy wails, \"Mommm!\" His sister can no longer use the phone, Mom can't work on her computer, and Dad can't finish cooking dinner. What's a family to do? When they go up to the roof to escape the heat, they find the lights--in stars that can be seen for a change--and so many neighbors it's like a block party in the sky! On the street below, people are having just as much fun--talking, rollerblading, and eating ice cream before it melts. The boy and his family enjoy being not so busy for once. They even have time to play a board game together. When the electricity is restored, everything can go back to normal . . . but not everyone likes normal. The boy switches off the lights, and out comes the board game again. Using a combination of panels and full bleed illustrations that move from color to black-and-white and back to color, John Rocco shows that if we are willing to put our cares aside for a while, there is party potential in a summer blackout.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Rocco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Little, Brown Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/24\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.27\" H x 9.43\" L x 0.4\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781423121909\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46698235756698,"sku":"9781423121909","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9781423121909_99e110fa-e716-410b-b899-29ffca2446c4.jpg?v=1774766743","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/blackout-caldecott-honor-book-john-rocco-hardcover","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
