Waking Life: Epiphenomena [Large Print]

By Ben Humeniuk

There are the plans we make, and there are the things we can control. Reunited childhood friends Robbie and Stacey are learning that it's hard to have both at once.
Stacey, having left behind a realm where dreams are reality, is finding that helping Robbie achieve his own goals is a challenge. Though she's excelling socially and academically at Randolph High, she's also the target of a serial vandalizer. Her every move is being monitored by Doctor Placebo. And she can't shake the guilt of leaving her aging father behind for this new adventure in the midst of mundane reality.
And she and Robbie, along with their new friend Ana, are about to have more adventure than they asked for.Because there's a secret that Stacey's never told Robbie. And it might upend more than just their new Anime Club, or his hopes for an animation scholarship. Where there are things that a former princess may forget, a Bane still remembers... ... and an old foe is about to open the door to a nightmare invasion of the waking world.
Waking Life Book Two escalates the relatable adolescent drama of Book One with an even stronger injection of fantasy stakes. The second volume of a tribute to (and update of) Little Nemo in Slumberland, this character-driven dramedy is perfect for readers young and old alike. It's the shocking second chapter of an unexpected coming-of-age story, blending imaginative realities with slice-of-life drama, all inspired by classic American cartooning.
