Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Mrs. Insomniac's new job means the family must move twelve times zones away. They may love their new home, but adjusting to the time change is proving impossible. Mika and her parents try everything to fall asleep-sipping mugs of milk, taking hot baths, counting to one thousand-but nothing helps. So they decide to take a cue from their nocturnal neighbors. Venturing out into the dark, they discover a whole world still awake, and a surprising beauty in their new and unconventional schedule.
Ideal for bedtime reading, this gorgeous and lyrical story celebrates nighttime's mystery and magic.
When Mr. and Mrs. Insomniac and little Mika move twelve time zones away, they have trouble staying awake during the day and make an interesting discovery about themselves.
