"A perfect combination of adventure, humor, and pure imagination!" —Jessica Day George, New York Times best-selling author of Tuesdays at the Castle


 

"Funny, scary, and endlessly inventive.” —Bruce Coville, author of Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher


 

Sophie loves the hidden shop below her parents' bookstore, where dreams are secretly bought and sold. When the dream shop is robbed and her parents go missing, Sophie must unravel the truth to save them. Together with her best friend—a wisecracking and fanatically loyal monster named Monster—she must decide whom to trust with her family’s carefully guarded secrets. Who will help them, and who will betray them?

 


  • An Unlikely Friendship: Meet Monster, a wisecracking creature with six tentacles, three rows of teeth, and the fierce loyalty of a best friend.
  • A Magical Adventure: When Sophie’s parents disappear, she and Monster must embark on a thrilling quest to unravel the truth and save their family.
  • Family Secrets: Sophie’s family has always guarded the secrets of the dream trade, but now she must decide who is an ally and who is a betrayer.
  • Found Family: A perfect fantasy book for kids who love heartwarming stories of friendship, courage, and discovering that family is more than who you’re related to.
