This book reminded me of reading my first Goosebumps book all those decades ago.

Finnegan Quick has nightmares, but these are no ordinary nightmares- they can change the real world. They first started with a creepy lady in his nightmares taking his dog, then mum and finally his dad. Finn now lives with his grandmother, but the creepy lady wants to take her, too.

Finnegan has a sliver of hope when the new girl, Cass, from his dreams turns up at his school in real life and clearly knows him too. Finnegan has never, ever told anyone about his dreams, but it’s time to tell his best friend, Squid.

This book is the first in the series. It would be perfect for fans of the Aveline Jones, Crater Lake and Dread Wood series. I whizzed through the book in a few sittings because I was engrossed. The story is funny, scary and sad. It covers death, bereavement, friendship and anger. Finnegan’s situation seems dire, but his friends are there to help him. 5/5 stars.
