Bookroo's summary

Charlie Laird thought his nightmare battles were over, but now he's trapped in someone else's dream, surrounded by creepy black sheep. Suspecting the mischievous twins Ick and Ink, Charlie must uncover their sinister plans before nightmares consume everyone. With Ink lurking at Cypress Creek Elementary, the stakes are high, and time is running out. Can Charlie and his friends stop the woolly nightmares and restore peace to their dreams, or will darkness prevail? Dive into a world where fears come alive, and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

“Coraline meets Monsters, Inc. in this delightfully entertaining offering from actor [Jason] Segel and co-author [Kirsten] Miller.” –Publishers Weekly, on book one in the series Stay up late with the hilariously frightening middle-grade novel Nightmares! The Lost Lullaby. You thought the nightmares were over? You’d better keep the lights on! Not since he faced his fears has Charlie had so many bad dreams. Whenever he falls asleep, he finds himself in a Netherworld field, surrounded by a flock of CREEPY BLACK SHEEP. They’re not counting sheep. They refuse to jump. In fact, they don’t do much at all. Even eerier, though, is that it’s not Charlie’s nightmare. Somehow he’s trapped in someone else’s bad dream. And he’s pretty sure the twins ICK and INK are responsible. Charlie and his friends thought they’d put the twins out of business, but it seems they didn’t quite finish the job. Now the WOOLLY NIGHTMARES are closing in, and INK has shown up at Cypress Creek Elementary! Charlie is convinced that INK is up to NO GOOD. And if he’s right, it could be a very long time before anyone’s dreams are sweet again. Praise for the Nightmares! series “Charlie Laird, who learns fear will eat you alive if you feed it, makes an impression, and . . . readers will want to accompany him again.” –The New York Times Book Review “A touching comical saga . . . about facing things that go bump in the night.” –US Weekly “Coraline meets Monsters, Inc. in this delightfully entertaining offering from actor [Jason] Segel and co-author [Kirsten] Miller.” –Publishers Weekly
