Midnight Mayhem
How far would you go to cure your boredom? Kaz Jakobsen knows life will never be the same after his sudden move to Philadelphia. Things get even harder when he eats a potent combo of the world’s greenest mustard and rootiest rootbeer and loses his ability to sleep. Ever. Again. Luckily, Kaz meets Floyd, a fellow non-sleeping kid with a million ideas on how to cure their nighttime boredom. Unluckily, Floyd is a mayhem magnet. When Kaz learns there’s an antidote a lifetime awake, he’ll have to choose: lose the mayhem, and also lose the best friend he’s ever had?
