An out-of-this-world middle-grade adventure about finding friendship in the most unlikely of places. From the bestselling and Waterstones Children' s Book Prize shortlisted author of BOY IN THE TOWER. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and authors, such as Ross Welford and Lisa Thompson. Something strange is happening in Ana' s city . . . she' s the only one awake. Confused and curious, Ana sets off to explore, bumping into the one other person who' s been able to rouse themselves - her ex-best friend, Tio. On a mission to discover what' s happening, Ana and Tio journey through the city looking for clues, their friendship mending with every step. When a mysterious creature suddenly materialises in front of them, Ana realises they' ve found the answer they' ve been looking for. But one question still remains: Why them?
