Roy has a lot going on in his life: A new school. A grumpy blob. A new neighbor. A bald mouse. Some water balloons. Two kid zombies. And a few embarrassing noises. Sounds like the perfect list for the perfect adventure--right? Wrong. Just as Roy settles into middle school, a big problem plows its way into his life. Fortunately, a new kid moves in across the street and fills Roy's nights with plenty of distractions and mischief. As the two become friends, Roy's days and nights get jumbled together, and a few pranks lead up to a Halloween night of tricks and fright. Sweet revenge quickly turns sour as Roy realizes he has become the very person who scares him the most.

According to nightlifer Roy Winklesteen, daylifers have no idea what they're missing. So, when a 2 a.m. glance out his bedroom window reveals a neighbor is hiding a secret of mythic proportions, Roy's summer break looks a lot more exciting. Seeking a cure for being the most ignored kid in all of fifth grade, Roy knows an awesome adventure will surely get him noticed in middle school. He watches and waits for the perfect time to move in for a closer look at the mysterious man who lives one street over. Roy's spy mission doesn't go as planned. Still, he manages to gain access into his neighbor's world--where mind-blowing inventions are more common than furniture and fighting crime involves transforming criminals into bumbling fools smothered in questionable goo. Every night with the neighbor brings Roy one step closer to the most daring adventure of his life. But even if he survives, he can never tell anyone about it.
