Editorial Review: Product Description: A few nights after Jessica Day arrives in Bixby, Oklahoma, she wakes up at midnight to find the entire world frozen, except for her and a few others who call themselves 'midnighters'. Dark things haunt this midnight hour – dark things with a mysterious interest in Jessica. The question is 㟷hy; The Secret Hour is a compelling tale of dark secrets, midnight romance, eerie creatures, courage, destiny, and unexpected peril. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Great, but a few things irked me.Okay, let me start out by saying I WISH I could do just a half point off. Really. I love these books. This is a great start to a great series. Maybe I'm partial to Westerfeld because I have yet to read any of his work and not fall in love with it. My only problem (and I have to admit, kindof a huge one for me) is that I live about 30 minutes from the place where this book takes place and its nothing like the place described in the book.

I suggest buying them all at once! Rating: - Good but...I was interested in this book mainly because it is based near where i live. However, Westerfeld must had never visited the area before writing the book. A few mistakes he makes is saying that Oklahoma is flat which is only true in some areas but definitely not in the Bixby area which is lush with trees and rolling hills. Another part is that her dad says he can see lightning in Texas which again can not be done because Bixby is in the Northern part of the state and along with the trees, hills and mountain ...

Only four kids, calling themselves Midnighters, are able to move around during the mysterious hour. When Jessica Day comes into town, she pretty much destroys the equilibrium between the Midnighters and the darklings, creatures who are able to come out during the midnight hour. It's a fast-paced book, with a wide variety of personalities depicted through the five children. So far, however, they seem a little one-dimensional, but perhaps ...
