“Soon after Darren and Eric become friends in high school, Darren learns that Eric has a secret “thing”. He can’t sleep. OR, as Darren would rather think of it, he doesn’t HAVE to sleep. This would imply that Eric has a superpower, and if Eric has a secret superpower, well that means just about anything is possible! As the two boys join forces to write a screenplay for a sci fi series, they also perform experiments to explore Eric’s sleepless abilities. Although this novel itself is a work of science fiction, it feels more like an insightful and witty coming-of-age novel. Use caution when recommending this Alex Award winner as it is interlaced with profanity and sexual escapades.
