Lambden's town is in the middle of a heat wave. The students and teachers spend each school day in a kind of heat-induced trance, nodding off at their desks. There is little relief, but Lambden has a secret antidote: each night, he gets to board the delightfully chilly Sleep Train. This evening, he even intends to board early for a few extra minutes of frosty air. But when raccoons appear in Lambden's bedroom, looming over his pillow, he gets the sense that something is very wrong. Listen to find out what happens in this entertaining tale about your favorite serious sleeper.
