ABOUT THE BOOK

There's not enough time in the day.

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you only had a few extra hours each day? Well, Mickey, Skye, Levi, Cyrus, and Thea have plenty of extra time … because they no longer need to sleep.

They have no idea why this is happening to them. All the know is that they need to keep it a secret from their families and friends. Meanwhile, they'll use their extra hours to become better than everyone else.

Each of them thinks they're alone in their sleeplessness. But once they find each other, they realize it can't just be an accident. Now they have to ask the big question: What's keeping them awake at night?
