Twelve-year-old Lucy Miller has been lying to everyone since she was seven.
And she would've started earlier had she realized it wasn’t normal to see a beam of light radiating from people’s foreheads—or that she might be the only one who can.
She’s also the only one in her family haunted by shadow creatures when she sleeps.
And now—just in time for middle school—the shadows are growing stronger than ever.
If her dad finds out she’s not sleeping again, she’ll be sent back to the special doctor to “fix” her overactive imagination—and lose her social life for good.
So Lucy keeps lying.
And somehow, it works—landing her a spot in the popular group at school.
But when the shadows start seeping into the daylight, and people’s lights begin going out one by one, Lucy realizes something terrifying:
This isn’t just her problem anymore.
Because she’s seen a light go out before—and she knows what comes next.
A haunting yet hopeful middle-grade fantasy about bravery, belonging, and the magic of becoming who you truly are.
Perfect for readers ages 9–13 who love mysterious worlds, hidden powers, and unforgettable adventures where light and shadow collide.
