Publisher's Synopsis

A universal and empowering story about conquering your fears, from Lemony Snicket and Jon Klassen.

Laszlo is afraid of the dark. The dark lives in the same house as Laszlo but mostly it spends its time in the basement. It doesn't visit Laszlo in his room. Until one night it does . . . Join Lazlo on his journey to meet the dark, and find out why it will never bother him again.

With emotional insight and poetic economy, two world-renowned talents of children's literature bring to light a powerful story about overcoming fears.

The originality of The Dark is breathtaking - The Times

A reassuring story for any children who may be afraid of the dark - Sunday Express

If ever there was a perfect creative pairing of words and pictures, surely this is it - Daily Mail

Thoughtful, perceptive and very reassuring - Parents In Touch
