Reviews"Romney's tale of modern-day Japan crossed with Japanese folklore is suffused with abundant humor, as his wisecracking teens navigate situations fraught with dark and dramatic irony. A confident debut that is at once ominous and laugh-out-loud funny." -- Kirkus Reviews "Original writing, unusual villains, and considerable humor make for a fast-paced and creepy adventure that readers will adore." --Miriam DesHarnais, School Library Journal "The mix of modern Japanese culture and ancient stories and characters is impressive, and Romney balances it all well, keeping unflappable Koda and his sardonic bluster firmly in the center. . . . [a] strong debut novel." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "[A] refreshing take on the classic good-versus-evil tale." -- Booklist

SynopsisKoda Okita is a high school student in modern-day Japan who isn't very popular. He suffers from narcolepsy and has to wear a watermelon-sized helmet to protect his head in case he falls. But Koda couldn't care less about his low social standing. He is content with taking long bike rides and hanging out in the convenience store parking lot with his school-dropout friend, Haru. But when a rash of puzzling deaths sweeps his school, Koda discovers that his narcoleptic naps allow him to steal the thoughts of nearby supernatural beings. He learns that his small town is under threat from a ruthless mountain demon that is hell-bent on vengeance. With the help of a mysterious-and not to mention very cute-classmate, Koda must find a way to take down this demon. But his unstable and overwhelming new abilities seem to have a mind of their own...
