title: Why Am I Afraid at Night?
author: Joanne Karipidis Kefalas
description: Joanne Karipidis Kefalas lives in Long Island, New York with her husband, 3 sons and of course mother (Yiayia). Ms. Kefalas likes to use herself, 3 sons and mother as the different characters in her books. She taught reading in the public school system for many years. That is where she began writing her children's books. Her stories encompass repetitive words, easy language, life lessons and Greek culture. She feels that a lot of children can relate to her storybooks. Ms. Kefalas is the author of several other children's books including "Why Am I Afraid"

  Chapter One
  
  
  
  
  
  It was one of those days in late April when the weather wasn't quite sure
  whether it wanted to be hot or cold, and so settled for a cloudy, muggy hybrid
  of the two. In Derringer, California, this meant stifling humidity and a
  windchill that made people think twice about removing their sweaty jackets.
  
  
  
  
  
  Out on the high school's track, Valerian Kimble had already made the conscious
  decision to knot hers around her waist. Sweat was dripping down her face,
  blurring her vision and making what was left of her makeup run.
