Nate, Carol and Kate Plan to Stay up Way Past Eight

By Joshua Ray

Nate, Carol and Kate Plan to Stay up Way Past Eight, is a humorous bedtime story that follows three siblings as they plan to stay up past their bedtime of 8 O'clock. Like typical kids their age, they don't want to go to bed early. Each night they plan a different scheme, either together or on their own to avoid going to bed early. Can they trick their parents into allowing them to stay up late?

These stories are based on Joshua's real life adventures with his 3 children. You'll get a good laugh out of each plan they had and how they made it work. This is a wonderful, heartwarming comical bedtime story about a loving family that you must read to your children just before they go to bed.

It all starts on Saturday night and continues to Monday night.
