Those weird dreams Abby Kendrick has been having? Turns out they aren’t dreams after all. They’re out-of-body experiences, like the ones her cousin Logan is having. At first Abby has fun with her new ability, using it to spy on her neighborhood crush and spook a mean girl. But when Logan gets in trouble on the astral plane, the game changes, and Abby must bend the rules of out-of-body travel as she journeys to a distant realm. Her mission is a perilous one, and success is not guaranteed. Can she save Logan and find her way home again? Or will the cousins be lost forever on the astral plane?
Enjoy an Excerpt
It had been a tiny, meaningless dream. Not much to offer plot-wise. Why was it thumping so insistently inside me?
You know why, said a firm, quiet voice in my mind.
But I don’t.
You do. It’s because—
I walked faster, trying to outrace the voice. Knowing I couldn’t.
—because there was something different about that dream.
No, there wasn’t!
Something strange.
“No,” I said, as if uttering the word aloud would give it more weight. “It was just a dream. A normal, stupid dream that didn’t mean a thing.”
Except it didn’t feel like a dream.
Yes, it did.
It felt like real life.
That’s crazy! That’s impossible! That’s—
Like. Real. Life.
The words slammed into me like three bullets. I stopped walking.
Like real life. That was how Logan had described his dreams before he’d realized they were out-of-body experiences.
Had the Roscoe dream been an OBE?
“No,” I moaned, sagging against a hefty oak tree in the Hoffmans’ front yard.
It wasn’t true. It couldn’t be. Out-of-body travel was Logan’s thing, not mine. I was letting my imagination run wild. My mother always said I was impressionable.
Then again, was it so crazy to think I might have the same weird ability Logan had? After all, we were cousins. Maybe it was a trait we shared, like our thin brown hair and knobby knees.
A violent shiver rippled through me, even though the sun was once more warming the air. The notion that I might have left my body like a dead person and flown off into the night was terrifying.
And also exhilarating.
