Saving The Night
Saving The Night takes place in the land of The Quetico.
There is a king, a queen, and a prince. The prince ends up trying to save his dog and falls down a well for two days. After that, he becomes afraid of the dark.
Years go by, and Prince Quentin turns 16. King David tells him he must go and become the mayor of Atikokan. When Quentin arrives, he is still afraid of the dark. He then puts lights up in the Village of Atikokan and into the forest to help him not be afraid of the dark.
Prince Quentin steals the night. Monty "the Mushroom" and Patsy "the Daisy" decide they must save the night. Even though they're just a mushroom and a daisy, they use their friendship and courage, meeting many kind strangers along their journey to save the night.
The prince learns how to use the power within himself to overcome his fear of the dark and apologises to the nocturnal plants and animals. Those who love and need the dark and those who need and love the light celebrate all night.
