Book details
NIGHTMARES! THE LOST LULLABY
Description
Charlie Laird is experiencing strange occurrences that leave him with a bad feeling. A new girl at school seems familiar, he hears unusual noises at night, and his nightmares have returned, stranger than ever. In his dreams, he finds himself in a Netherworld field surrounded by creepy black sheep that refuse to jump or do much at all. More unsettling is that Charlie is trapped in someone else’s nightmare, likely caused by the troublesome twins, Ick and Ink. Despite thinking they had dealt with the twins previously, the woolly nightmares are intensifying, and Ink has appeared at Cypress Creek Elementary. Charlie believes Ink is up to no good, and if he’s correct, it could be a long time before anyone has sweet dreams again. This is the third book in the hilariously scary Nightmares! series.
