I have to thank NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of the first 48 pages of this book for an honest review. The final version will have over 100 pages and is scheduled to be published on February 1, 2022.
The story follows the adventures of the “nightmare brigade”, a dream team led by Professor Angus. With his two young sidekicks, 14-year-olds Esteban and Tristan, they have one goal: to help people get rid of their worst nightmares.
I liked the illustrations, even though the definition of the image wasn’t great. The storyline was mysterious and, as it progressed, it got me hooked. It’s definitely a page-turner, and the ending was nerve-racking. I really want to know more! On another hand, it’s also so fast-paced that there’s very little build hope for the action. Still fun though!
Although 48 pages aren’t really enough to fall completely in love with the characters, I appreciated that there’s one of the main characters is a disabled person, who’s also really brave, kind and honest. I’m just sorry that the author used the term ‘handicapped’, since it’s offensive, and I hope that is revised and corrected before it is published.
