'It was Joanie’s Mum who sang the bedtime songs. Now she’s gone and Joanie can’t sleep. Encouraged by her dad, Joanie begins to tell a bedtime story of a village where sleep has ceased to settle.
'Can a young girl guide her community to the safety of Mount Torg Berg? Can the songs return, and can Joanie and Malley finally find sleep?'
