Review:

Do you have nightmares? Do you wish there were someone who could enter your dreams and save you? The Nightmare Brigade can help you recover from your worst nightmare! 

Esteban and Tristan attend Jules Ferry High School and are not a part of the popular crowd. Professor Albert Angus is Tristan’s father, and they live in, work, and run a sleep clinic. Esteban was found in the woods by Professor Angus and didn’t remember anything about his past. He is now part of the family and the team known as the Nightmare Brigade. The equipment at the clinic was designed to help Esteban and Tristan get inside the dreams of the teens they help. Their latest case is a girl named Sarah that seems very familiar to Esteban. Saving teens from their nightmares is a tricky task. Once in the dream the team must navigate to find the patient and solve the mystery that is causing the nightmares. A second case has a man that vows never to sleep again at the clinic but is somehow still getting into dreams. For this team each case is an adventure. 

For fans of graphic novels this one is a must read. Included in this creepy, intriguing adventure readers will find amazing and dark illustrations with short snappy dialogue that makes this a quick fun read. Also included is a top-secret section providing readers with insight on how the mind works during the various phases of sleep. The back pages share the secret of Esteban. Parents and teachers can share this as a read-a-loud in a classroom setting or at home.
