It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and Harry and Emily are determined to stay awake for the first time ever to celebrate. The only problem is they keep falling asleep before midnight arrives! So to prepare for the big event they practice staying awake. They rattle noisemakers. They drink bubbly drinks. They put on party hats. They even practice the countdown. But they still can't keep their eyes open. The only noise that keeps waking them up is Harry’s snoring (or is it his sister Emily’s?). At last they come up with a brilliant plan guaranteed to keep them awake in time to ring in the new year.
