DREAM CREATURES (DRÖMVÄSEN)

’Tess, can I sleep with you?’ Her little brother was just a shadow as he stood next to her bed. He was breathing heavily and was shivering. Tess let him crawl down next to her in the bed. But she didn’t ask what he dreamed.

One day Oscar, Tess’s little brother, is gone. Why didn’t she listen to him when he tried to tell her why he was so scared? André and Tess must go back. Together they have to find their way back into the nightmares and the Nightground before it’s too late.

REVIEWS

”Dream Creatures is Lena Ollmark’s long-awaited sequel to The Whipping Boy and it is just as hard to put down. (…) The story grabs hold of the reader and is a real page-turner. It’s a dark and scary story that starts the imagination. It also contains themes such as friendship, bullying and relationships.”
