It's almost Hallowe'en. Alli and her friends are beside themselves with excitement because this autumn, for the very first time, they will join The Night Runners to help collect the precious starlight which is carefully gathered and stored for use in the lengthening days of spring.  Alli should be delighted but several things have begun to trouble her: why has her good friend Poppy become so quiet and withdrawn?  Who are the strangers who lurk in the darkness beyond the stars?  And where have all the colours gone?

From playwright Anne McMaster (Wanda Whizz, The Unfamiliar, A Hallowe'en Whodunnit, Super Steve and The Singing Star), The Night Runners is a magical tale of light and dark, the passage of time, friendship, and of the growing up we need to do to become the people we know we can be.  Perfectly pitched for children of all ages, this is a heart-warming story guaranteed to bring a warm glow to the coldest of autumn evenings.
