It’s been three summers since Madelyn’s brother Aiden fell to his death, swallowed by the cold waves of Lake Superior. They say it was an accident. She knows that's a lie.

Having mastered the art of lucid dreaming, the teen scours her own dreams for her lost memory of what happened that day. The truth hides somewhere in her mind's version of Shy Harbor—where the tragedy took place. But the mirror town is cold and desolate. Her only light is Luke, the mysterious boy her dreams created. Madelyn feels closer than ever to unlocking her unconscious. Until she ventures too deep, and her worst fear is realized.

She can't wake up.

To return to the waking world, Madelyn must now solve her brother’s death within the eerie constructs of her own mind— before her consciousness slips away forever. As the mystery deepens and the bone-chilling Intruders begin hunting her down, Madelyn discovers that some secrets are best left under the surface.

Praise for Wake Up from Publishers Weekly :

"De Lira’s dream world, replete with telekinesis and eerie Intruders, proves engaging. Those seeking an energetically paced adventure about grief, loss, and self-acceptance will likely enjoy joining Madelyn, her new friend Luke, and her anthropomorphic mental constructs on their journey."
