About This Book

She was born of the moon and stars. He was born of the sun. Their love will either save or destroy their enchanted world.

In a subterranean cavern, a mad scientist named Witch A'melia conducts a strange and cruel experiment: She raises two children, isolating each from half of the natural world.

Nycteris, the Night Girl, has only ever seen the moon and stars. Kept indoors during the day, her skin is pale as moonlight, and she lives in fear of the sun's blinding fire.

Photogen, the Day Boy, has only ever known the sun and daylight. He is vibrant and bold but becomes paralyzed and helpless the moment the moon rises.

When a fateful accident in the cave brings the two children together, they fall instantly in love, but their radically different natures create immediate peril. Nycteris must teach the Day Boy how to survive the terror of the dark, while Photogen must convince the Night Girl to brave the brilliant, deadly world of the sun.

George MacDonald, the "Father of Fantasy," crafts a beautiful, profound allegory about nature, fear, and the necessity of confronting the unknown. The Day Boy and the Night Girl is a poetic and powerful fairy tale about finding courage and wholeness in a love that embraces both the light and the dark.
