When the adult world falls asleep and cannot wake, only children can climb the Bedpost, a tower made of nightmares, to save them. At the top waits Nana Vesper, a gentle, humming grandmother who is the strongest being in existence. She isn't evil. She believes sleeping forever is kinder than waking up to a world full of loss. Thirteen-year-old Kiro Hanabi will climb 99 floors, grow from the weakest kid in the tower into a legend, and still lose to her. Four of his best friends will choose to stay in their happiest dreams and never wake.
