The Midnight Ticket - Luke Washington

Milo Lumenhart has always noticed things other people miss. The strange click in the wall after midnight. The whisper of wind inside a locked room. The feeling that something in the dark is listening back.

Then one night, a glowing ticket appears in his closet.

In the blink of an eye, Milo is swept into the Nimbus Nonsense Fair, a floating world of moonlit tents, cloud rides, secret wishes, and spectacular magic. But the fair is not just a place of wonder. A piece of the moon has been stolen, the lights are beginning to fail, and something hungry is moving through the shadows.

With only a mysterious ticket, a quick-witted dragon named Zizzles, and his own courage to guide him, Milo must race through a world where forgotten wishes can turn dangerous and nothing is ever quite what it seems. If he fails, the fair will fall into darkness forever and Milo may never find his way home.

Perfect for readers who love magical adventures, unforgettable creatures, and stories filled with humor, heart, and high-stakes wonder, The Midnight Ticket is a dazzling middle grade fantasy about bravery, friendship, and discovering that the things that make us different may be the very things that make us extraordinary.
