| Ooooo! |
Nayu here! The Night School series by CJ Daugherty is rather cool. For some reason known only to blogging gremlins, my review of book 1, Night School,

| Young Adult, 10E/10E (& one of several books which made me create a higher rater than 10/10) |
& book 2, Night School: Legacy

| Young Adult, 6/10E - this rating will be changed upon the next reread, since I now understand why Allie acted the way she did. |
have vanished. Drat. All that remains is their ratings, but book 3, Night School Fracture,
can be found here. I have yet to read book 4.
...CJ Daugherty’s bestselling Night School books are being made into an online TV series for You Tube! Not only that, but what’s really exciting is that
it’s the first time that a YA book has been made into an online series in Britain! You probably know that web series based on popular YA books are already huge in America with web series such as Private by Kate Brian and
The Lizzie Bennett Diaries proving huge hits on You Tube. You may also be interested to know that more than 50% of all TV is watch on You Tube, so CJ is bang on trend with her new You Tube series.
Night School the Web Series will be released on CJ Daugherty’s You Tube Channel on Friday 12th December and CJ has written all new material for
each episode, so you get to find out what Allie and Carter really think about each other! Here is a sneak peak of what to expect:

The first time a British book series has been produced for an online audience
Britain is set to get its first ever web series based on a book, as Little Brown author CJ Daugherty prepares to release
Night School the Web Series based on her bestselling YA novels.
Set to release on Friday 12th December and produced by Trailermade Films,
Night School the Web Series tells the story of Allie Sheridan, a school girl at Cimmeria Academy, an exclusive British private school that hides a dark secret. At the heart of Cimmeria is Night School, a Bullingdon Club style secret society whose members
are both destined to run the country and mentored by the world’s most powerful people. When Night School members become involved with a series of student murders, the secret society implodes and Cimmeria Academy becomes the scene of a civil war between teachers,
students and Night School members. With no-one to trust and friends getting murdered all around her, Allie finds herself caught up in a love triangle between two of Night School’s most powerful members; Sylvan and Carter.
The brainchild of a husband-and-wife team: BAFTA-nominated Director Jack Jewers and author CJ Daugherty who penned the scripts,
Night School the Web Series does not attempt to adapt the books on film, but instead presents six original stories set within the world of the books. Night School the Web Series
will be launched on the Night School YouTube channel which has already had 300,000 views and counting for its book trailers.
CJ Daugherty says Night School fans tell me the books feel REAL to them. I wanted to make the story even more alive. I am barraged with emails and messages every single day from fans asking for a TV series or film of Night School.
This was a way to give them what they want and to be at the cutting edge of something brand new.
Jack Jewers Says YouTube now accounts for more than 50% of everything we watch. It’s the future and the present. This is the way we will all be watching television soon. America is already way ahead of us in transforming books
into web series and I’m really excited that we get to be the first people to launch a web series based on a book in the UK.
Each webisode in Night School the Web Series is less than ten minutes long. One webisode will be released each week, beginning 12 December and continuing through January. The webisodes use the same cast as the cult hit Night School
book trailers and aim to unite action with the complex emotional and political issues inherent in the books.
