About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with nighttime fears or bad dreams but still craves the excitement of a spooky story. It provides a safe, humorous space to explore the concept of nightmares by personifying the things that go bump in the night, ultimately showing children that they have the power to face their own internal fears. The story follows friends Luke and Resus as they venture into a hidden community to rescue their kidnapped friend Cleo from the Nightwatchman, a villain who literally feeds on children's dreams. While it is part of a larger series, it works well as a standalone adventure for middle-grade readers who enjoy a mix of mild horror and slapstick comedy. It is an excellent choice for building resilience and bravery, using fantasy and teamwork to demystify the scary parts of a child's imagination.
