Simon Han, Nights When Nothing Happened

Melissa Lukenbaugh
author Simon Han

Simon Han's novel follows the Cheng family, recent immigrants to the U.S. from China. All seems to be going well until their daughter Annabel starts sleepwalking and then misbehaving with her friends from school. While the family tries to fit in to their Texas neighborhood, they must wrangle with forces beyond their control. Buy the book from your local independent bookstore, or here!
