What My Soul Does When I Am Asleep

Fifteen-year-old Gaby has always believed that while she sleeps, her soul wanders. Every morning she wakes with vivid memories of places she's never been, people she's never met, and emotions far too real to dismiss as ordinary dreams. Everyone tells her she's imagining things—but deep down, she knows the truth is far stranger.

When her grandmother suffers a stroke, Gaby's family travels overseas, where she becomes drawn to a mysterious teenage boy lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Barclay has been trapped in a coma since a devastating car accident claimed his entire family, and no one can explain why he won't wake. Yet every night, Gaby dreams of a boy who feels hauntingly familiar, as though their souls have been searching for each other across an invisible world.

As the line between dreams and reality begins to dissolve, Gaby discovers that some places exist beyond sleep, some souls are destined to meet, and some nightmares are all too real. If her nightly journeys are more than dreams, then something dark is waiting in the spaces between worlds—and if she cannot find her way back, she may lose far more than her sleep.
