Middle Grade: Maxwell Dark Nightmare Hunter


* book 1 in a new graphic novel series *

Maxwell Dark helps people get rid of their nightmares. He must be in the room with them while they sleep, so they can dream walk together. Maxwell has ulterior motives; he's looking for his sister. He's drawn to a town where he meets Sid.

Her nightmares are wreaking havoc on her life. She's so tired. Maxwell wants to help her defeat her monsters so she can finally move on and rest. She's a little skeptic of him.
My Thoughts: While this isn't a Halloween graphic novel, it's perfect for this time of year with all the monsters. This was an interesting read and just a little bit creepy. I'm curious to see where the overall arch of the story will go. The monsters are holding on to some secrets.

Cover Thoughts: Great
Source: My Library
Library Recommendation: A great soft horror graphic novel for middle grade readers - highly recommended.

I don't usually read a lot of graphic novels or scary MGs, but this does sound like an interesting concept, especially that he's looking for his sister.

I'm always on the lookout for a good graphic novel that young readers would enjoy. This one sure fits the bill. Thanks for being a part of MMGM this week.

A good choice for this time of year, but not for me. I don't do scary. Thanks for the post.

This definitely sounds a bit creepy but I love the concept! I like the creepiness too but I wouldn't let anyone into my nightmares even to save me!! :) Thanks for the recommendation!
