Awake

Ages 4 to 8

The epic story of a brave little girl facing the ultimate enemy: a spider in the corner of her bedroom

In a big, big city

on a busy street

at the tipity-top of a tall building

lives a girl.

One night, after a story,

a snuggle,

and one last sip of water,

she was getting so sleepy...when out of the corner of her eye...

SPIDER

The girl was no longer sleepy. Now, she was . . . Awake.

In a brilliant debut, Mags DeRoma gives us an empowered young child who is trying to solve the biggest problem she's ever faced: how to get the spider out of her room without actually having to go near it.

With bold cut-paper art, Awake is sure to stay with readers for a long time.
