The Sleepwalkers

Do you have a bad dream that will not go away? Are you afraid to sleep at night? Call the Sleepwalkers! Write us a letter, put it under your pillow, and we will come and save you!

From their dream-proof Safe House, three friendly sheep known as the Sleepwalkers navigate the world of dreams, rescuing children from the horrors of their nightmares. When apprentice Bonifacius the Bear is recruited to join them, he must master his own fears in order to brave the horrors that lie outside the Safe House. Together with Amali the sock monkey and Sophia the crow, can he rescue the children who need his help?

Booktrust Best New Illustrator Viviane Schwarz takes us into the weird and wild world of dreams and nightmares in this, her first graphic novel. Beautifully-illustrated in Schwarz's idiosyncratic style, it also includes instructions on how to make your own sock monkey and how to concoct a tasty breakfast drink to get you through tough times. Wonderfully imaginative and inventive, with a powerful message about facing up to our fears and anxieties, this is an original and striking book that cements Schwarz as one of our most exciting young illustrators.
