Nightmares! The Lost Lullaby

Charlie is having nightmares again, but his waking hours are worse. He already saved his town from the twins ICK and INK a couple times, but it seems that one of them is back in the Waking World. He tries several times to confront her about what she and her sister are planning but can never get close enough. Even more frustrating is that his younger brother, Jack, seems to be buddying up with her, “the bad guy!” When he, Jack, and Charlotte, his stepmother, hear sounds in the night and banging on the door in the tower, they know the twin still locked in the Netherworld has big plans, complete with an army of Nightmares. The three of them have to figure out how to stop the twins quickly before the Nightmares take over. This is the third installment of the Nightmares series and is best read in order. It leaves readers with a good message of how emotions can rule the world, even unintentionally, and how it is best to deal with issues before they get too large. Great for readers from third grade through middle school, it is for any reader whose nightmares threaten to take over daylight hours.
