BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
They are all 12yo and all five of them don’t need any sleep. None. Instead, each of the five is using that extra time to perfect talents and interests - until they start discovering each other. Now there’s a bigger mystery for them to solve. Why are they all sleepless? They have an idea of what has happened to them and who did it, but do they want this sleeplessness turned off? Maybe they won’t be so special any more.
Korman has such a knack for taking these little ideas and making them so compelling to read all the way to the end. It would be great to read aloud and then discuss what kids would pursue in those extra hours and would they be willing to give them up or not.
