The Nightmarys by Dan Poblocki was just as good as The Stone Child. I would only say The Stone Child was better because it is my sort of book, more so than The Nightmarys.
The book follows Timothy July and Abigail Tremens. After being paired together for a school project, both of them start experiencing frightening visions. After they finally admit this to one another, they begin to follow clues to find the cause, and hopefully stop it before it’s too late.
What an easy book to speed through, each time I finished a chapter I wanted to read just a little bit more. Abigail and Timothy are both likeable, and their relationship rings true as it progresses from reluctant partners to friends fighting for their lives together. The clues to what is really going on are dropped subtly, and usually figured out in a time of tension just when you are about dying for the character to figure it out.
Once again, the nightmare creatures that Poblocki creates are creepy and exciting. The pace of the story is perfect, and I can’t wait to read another one!
