BiblioTech™ CityHacks: In Search of Sleep

Summary

An interactive reading experience about sleep, circadian rhythms, and health.

Did you know that two-thirds of American teens aren’t getting enough sleep?

How much sleep should you be getting? What happens when you’re sleeping? What happens if you don’t get enough sleep?!? Help Maya answer these questions so she can convince her mom to let her stay up late for CityHacks, a cool coding club that she wants to join.

Learn important factual content, like the science behind why getting enough sleep is so important. You get to do this while you build your own branching story. Each chapter features a decision point where the reader decides where to go next, which creates 100’s of variations on the flow of the story.
