📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Green Night — Nils had seen the northern lights all his life on the Norwegian coast, the way anyone does who is born that far north — and they never frightened him until the older boys told him what they were. His grandfather looks up at the whole burning sky the way another man might check for rain, and that is the thing Nils cannot get over.
