Are you READY for this one?
👀 Finnegan Quick is haunted by dreams that change the real world each morning 💭
It's so bad that he's scared to fall asleep. One night, an unknown girl appears in his NIGHTMARE, fighting the MONSTERS.
On the first day of term, she turns up at school, in the lunch queue - in real life!
Some dreams are great but Finn's dreams are a big issue. He has to figure out what he can do to change things. Can he avoid sleep?
How long can YOU stay awake? What will work for Finn?
The mysterious girl, Cass & Squid - Finn's best friend - have a huge challenge in front of them. How will they decide what's a dream & what's reality? Is there a place in between? Finnegan will have to figure out who he can trust & see if he can come up with a plan. Staying hidden under his duvet might be tempting but it's just not an option.
Finn's parents vanished & his Gran is there to keep an eye on him... but nothing is that simple.
Does everyone have their own 'special powers'? What would yours be? Would you use them?
With excellent, unique characters & story, this creepy but fun & creative adventure pulls us in to experience Finn's puzzling dream & school worlds.
Is Junior Comedy Horror a thing? It seems to be now! It's perfect for young readers who like something a bit different.
This would be such a great book for a group read-along or a junior book club. Our reading miniClub will have a book treasure hunt event & then enjoy the book(s) together.
The sneak peek at the end is a great bonus & readers can look forward to another exciting round of dreams & nightmares from Finnegan & Larry Hayes.
Huge thanks to Sally Oliphant for sending a review copy & bringing this book & author to our attention. We'll definitely spread the word.
