One hot summer night in the city, all the power goes out. The TV
shuts off and a boy wails, "Mommm " His sister can no longer use
the phone, Mom can't work on her computer, and Dad can't finish
cooking dinner. What's a family to do? When they go up to the roof
to escape the heat, they find the lights--in stars that can be seen
for a change--and so many neighbors it's like a block party in the
sky On the street below, people are having just as much
fun--talking, rollerblading, and eating ice cream before it melts.
The boy and his family enjoy being not so busy for once. They even
have time to play a board game together. When the electricity is
restored, everything can go back to normal . . . but not everyone
likes normal. The boy switches off the lights, and out comes the
board game again.Using a combination of panels and full bleed
illustrations that move from color to black-and-white and back to
color, John Rocco shows that if we are willing to put our cares
aside for a while, there is party potential in a summer blackout.
