The Nightmares of Finnegan Quick
Larry Hayes
Creepy and chilling with a dash of humour. And definitely one to finish in the daytime! Perfect for fans of Jennifer Killick & Gabriel Dylan.
Finnegan Quick is terrified to go to sleep, his nightmares seem to come true in the daytime. He has lost his parents and his dog, he cannot lose his Gran. Then he meets Cass, the girl from his dreams (not OF his dreams), she promises to help him solve the mystery of his parents and defeat the creatures of his nightmares. With Cass and his geeky best friend Squid by his side, Finnegan does as his Gran always tells him – faces his fears.
They encounter goblins, ghosts, zombies, a crypt and a creepy house night after night in Finnegan’s nightmares. Squid uses his love of reading and head full of facts to help the trio find ways of defeating the nightmares. But Cass seems to have her own motivation for helping Finnegan, will it come together? There is tension and a gripping build-up to the finale which does not disappoint.
We love the sneaky peak into the next book to keep you hooked and wanting more!
Note – parental death features throughout the story. Recommended for upper KS2+
