Joel Scoggins thought responsibility meant homework, locked doors, field trip forms, and whatever adults said when they wanted kids to take out the trash.
Then he falls asleep in Houston and wakes up on a cold street across the world, watching a crossing guard abandon his post after hearing a message from a mysterious phone.
A child is hurt. Joel wakes with dirt on his feet, a scrape on his heel, and the terrifying certainty that it was not just a dream.
Soon, the pattern returns. A nurse walks away from a patient. A dispatcher almost misses a desperate call. Each time, the message is the same: you are tired, you have carried enough, you can let go.
But when the danger reaches Houston, Joel realizes the message is no longer showing him distant tragedies. It is coming for his home, his sister, and the best friend trying to keep him from falling apart.
As Joel searches for the figure behind the message, he must face a truth more frightening than the night travels themselves: no one can carry everything alone.
But walking away can leave someone else beneath what you dropped.
Night Travel is a tense YA supernatural thriller about guilt, friendship, responsibility, and the invisible choices that hold the world together.
