Crater Lake: Don’t Ever Fall Asleep is an exciting sci-fi, mildly scary children’s book. From the beginning, the reader is told that when the pupils fall asleep they turn into bug-eyed victims of some alien race that is in Crater Lake.
Friends Lance, Chet, Maksym, and Katja have arrived at Crater Lake with all their year six classmates on a school vacation. As they get to the site a man covered in blood runs in front of their coach requiring medical attention.
Things take an even stranger turn when night falls as the students who have fallen asleep have become bug-eyed and brainwashed and are heading into the woods as workers for some aliens, including their teachers. Those who haven’t fallen asleep yet are still very much human.
Can Lance and his friends work out what is happening, stop the weird alien invasion, help their classmates, and remain awake for the next two days until the coach comes back to pick them up?
