About this listen

 Twelve-year-old Moll Pecksniff wakes one night in the middle of the forest, lured there by a recurring nightmare - the one with the drums and the rattles and the masks. The Dreamsnatcher is waiting. He has already taken her dreams and now he wants her life.

Because Moll is more important than she knows… The Oracle Bones foretold that she and Gryff, a wildcat that has always been by her side, are the only ones who can fight back against the Dreamsnatcher's dark magic. Suddenly everything is at stake, and Moll is drawn into a world full of secrets, magic and adventure.

Catapult into this page-turning adventure from the author of Sky Song, perfect for fans of J.K. Rowling, Michelle Harrison and Eva Ibbotson.

I'm an adult but I work with kids. This was a great- like a more accessible Phillip Pullman.
For fans of Disney's Brave.

EXCEPT

I felt cheated by the end that isn't an end and I think the ending might disturb young audiences unnecessarily.

You could still have had a sequel without ruining the singularity of this. The plot is resolved but oh no, let's have the last two minutes reigniting all the fear and trauma again!

Will captivate feisty 8-12 year olds, but...
