□ I love that the machine was called CHEESE. He was so funny and his plans were wild but also great. I had to get used to Teddy a bit but after a while I just really liked the guy. Love how they are twins but their personalities couldn’t be any more different. □ Teddy and Bea were such terrific characters. That is terrible, but finding out that your dad’s boss just kind of did that to him? Ouch. At times I just wanted to give her a big hug because there is a lot going on in the book. She was imaginative, strong, brave, and she is not afraid to kick some serious butt! I loved how creative she was and would have definitely liked to see some of her scribbles appear in the book. Normally this list would also contain a not so good part, but I just don’t have any complaints. I am a tad tired and still have a few other things to write so I am going to make a list review with all I loved. I laughed, I snickered, I used my imagination (unlike what the kids say, adults can have imagination), I cheered. And this book was just so so so much fun. I loved their Kid Normal series and I was hoping they would get together again to make a new book. I was so so SO excited when I saw a new book appear by these two authors. Highly recommend!□ĭreams, tons of imagination, a big heist, and a unicorn who loves show tunes! Amy Nguyen did a stunning job illustrating this book. I had so much fun with these lovable characters, & I’m not sure if there will be, but I hope there’s more to come! Did I mention the talking cat?! Along with the beautiful cover front & back, beautiful naked hardcover, you also have almost every page filled with amazing illustrations. We can also learn from the bad parts, not just the good. Such an imaginative read that shows the importance of imagination-all of it. The whole dream idea, & everything that goes with it were so interesting & I loved it. There’s a dastardly plot, & a very over the top villain. This is good vs evil in the most fun, silliest, adventurous form. The narrator talks to you, & even the “publisher” in way steps in at 1 point to move things along lol you have to read it. lol The characters are just phenomenal! Maya is a great MC, & the friendship she forms with Bea & Teddy is so wonderful. It’s full of family, friendship, imagination, facing your fears instead of running from them, & even a heist or 2, & maybe a dramatic, singing, dancing, self loving unicorn. This is another 1 that IMO would make a terrific read aloud with kids. But the devious Lilith Delamere has trapped him inside a nightmare & Maya & the mysterious Dream Bandits must find a way to rescue him before it's too late! Maya will face a dangerous journey & some difficult choices. The Professor invented a device that allows you to visit other people's dreams. Falling asleep is the only chance she has to save her dad - the brilliant but slightly odd Professor Dexter. Wow! What a story! This was so much fun! Unlike most 12 year-olds, Maya Clayton is desperate to go to bed early.
