Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the balance between their growing independence and the anxieties of the world around them. It is an ideal choice for the middle-elementary reader who is fascinated by hidden mysteries but might need a safe space to explore themes of fear and nighttime bravery. In this second installment of the series, Robyn Silver continues her training as a monster hunter, facing a new threat of nightmare-inducing beetles that are stealing the sleep of her town. This story serves as a powerful metaphor for how children can confront their own anxieties with the help of a loyal support system. Through the lens of high-stakes fantasy, the book emphasizes that being brave does not mean being fearless: it means acting in spite of fear. It is a fast-paced, imaginative adventure that validates a child's intuition and encourages them to protect those who are most vulnerable.
