About the Author
Sands Hetherington, creator of the Night Buddies series of chapter books, credits his son John for being his principal motivator. Sands and young John developed the Crosley crocodile character in the series during months of bedtime story give-and-take. They collaborated many nights on escapades starring John and Crosley until, eventually, it occurred to Sands why it was that Crosley was bright red. That was when the first book came together.
Sands majored in history at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) and has an M.F.A. in creative writing and an M.A. in English from UNC-Greensboro. He lives in Greensboro, North Carolina.

About the Illustrator
Natalie Leininger, illustrator of the 4th title in the Night Buddies series, grew up in New Jersey and has been drawing ever since she was young. She now lives in Nebraska and attends the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, studying the fine arts. She is in her third year at the university, primarily practicing oil painting, but spends time outside of the classroom working on a variety of projects. She has always enjoyed being with children, which made illustrating and working on Night Buddies such an enjoyable project!
Natalie strives to capture our world in bloom. Whether it be through the literal sense of a blooming flower or the simple act of sketching a character’s smile spreading across their face, her art is a place for all to engage in their own way.
Thanks for following along with us on the Night Buddies and Evil School Bus #264 Awareness Tour!

I would like to win because these books sound like fun and interesting ones my kids would enjoy.
We had two school bus drivers in our extended family (one set of cousins had both grandmas who drove school buses!) so these kinds of books are very popular with our crew.
Buddies are so important to have and keep.
I would like to win this for my nephew.
I think zay would get some good laugh out of this book
Fun series for adventure-loving kids.
fun
I’m the “book auntie”, who gives books as gifts at the holidays, without exception. I’d love to win this prize so that one of the kids in my family will have the fun of imagining themselves as part of these wild adventures.
This book sounds like a fun adventure..
I was bused to school for five years, so I know a lot about what it’s like to ride a school bus. I can safely say that whatever kind of trouble I might have gotten into, or adventures I might have had, on a Magic School Bus or any bus, would have involved a group of friends. Those were very fun times.
This sounds like a fun read.
This book sounds like an exciting story.
An interesting book.
I’d love to be in a flying bus! But I have to admit, I’d probably sleep until we got to our destination.
This sounds like is a cute, fun adventure book.
I would love to win because my niece, a school teacher, is always happy to receive books for her classroom.
Giveaway are cool
I am pretty sure I would be heading straight for the beach if I had access to a flying bus!
A good mystery.
A flying school bus could do a heck of a job transporting rescue pups from one place to another. Wouldn’t that be great fun? Flying them from the overcrowded shelter in Maui to new homes on the Mainland? Think of the fun!
This book sounds like an exciting adventure.
These books would be great additions to a Little Library.
A nice collection of fascinating books.
Because I know my niece, a grade school teacher, spends her own money on supplies for her classroom, I would like to win this giveaway and add this to her book shelf.
A nice series of fun, adventure books.
A cool adventure story.
I’m imagining a grade-school version of Dead Heads on a flying school bus. Where would we go? To movie theaters all across the world to see Star Wars films, maybe? Or to Taylor Swift concerts!
These books are nicely illustrated .
This story sounds like an exciting adventure..
These books look like they would really appeal to kids with their excellent illustrations! I love it when books can draw kids in more one than one way–through story and through art.
This book sounds like an intriguing adventure.
I would love to win this book for my grandson.
Night Buddies sounds like a good series of books.
Nothing but rain here today. I would love to see the School Bus head for a sunny, beachy location and try out some tropical fun. Remember when the Brady Bunch went to Hawaii?
An exciting adventure book.
This book sounds like the perfect mystery.
This book sounds like it’s very entertaining
This book would make a great addition to my grandson’s personal library.
Tonight is an amazingly starry night, with a few airplane lights trailing across the sky. As I was watching them I was wondering what trouble a flying school bus might cause, zooming across the night sky. Would people think they’d sighted a UFO? Would an outbreak of UFO sightings cause a public panic? Would the kids not he bus love that kind of chaos?
This book sounds like it’s very entertaining and fun.
Looks like a fun read.
My grandson would love to have this book.
This sounds like the perfect suspenseful adventure mystery.
