Nightwell is supposed to keep her safe. Instead, it drags her straight into a nightmare. Students vanish. A portal splits open in the woods. Spencer rips a seventh grader out of a world that feeds on fear, only to discover her own father might be trapped inside it. The Society swears they're protecting the school from the Nightmare World. Their leader, Jake, wants her to join them. But their power feels more like worship than sacrifice, and the closer she gets, the more the shadows crawl.

Red Rover | gxg | Wattys 2023 Winner | ✔
[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.
