About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with vivid nightmares or fears of the dark and needs a way to externalize those feelings through humor and action. It is an ideal choice for kids who feel overwhelmed by their imagination and need to see that even the scariest 'monsters' can be managed with a little logic and a lot of friendship. In this high-energy graphic novel, Mal (a robot dog) tries to help his friend Chad by building a portal to defeat a nightmare beast. When the plan backfires and the monster enters the real world, the group must use teamwork and creativity to save the day. It is perfectly paced for readers aged 7 to 10, offering a secular, empowering approach to nighttime anxiety by transforming scary dreams into a conquerable, even silly, adventure.
