The Midnight Children

The Midnight Children Synopsis

In the dead of night, a truck arrives in Slaughterville, a town named after its windowless slaughterhouse. Seven mysterious kids with suitcases stealthily step out of the vehicle and into an abandoned home on a dead-end street. But lonely Ravani Foster witnesses their arrival and is eager to learn everything he can about his new neighbours: What are they hiding?

And where are the adults? Yet amid this group of children, Ravani finds an unexpected friend in gutsy Virginia. But with friendship comes secrets revealed - and danger.

When Ravani learns of a threat to his new friends, he must fight to keep them safe, or lose the only person who has ever understood him.
