Very cute art and story. The sleepwalkers help dreamers get out of nightmares. They are very tired, though, and with the help of their dog they recruit apprentices.

It is the job of three woolly creatures to help children to escape their nightmares and go through the door of the Safe House to return home.
In this sweet, and sometimes scary, graphic novel, the three kind-hearted butt kicking woolly heroes are transferring their power to a new team of Sleepwalkers. Tween readers (ages 9-11) will enjoy the sweet and wise bear, overactive monkey, creepy bird, and optimistic dog who shine through the story. The nightmares are realistic and children will be able to relate to the fear experienced by the children in the story. However, our heroes save each child, reminding children that nightmares always end when the dreamer wakes up.

Charged with the job of protecting children from nightmares, the Walkers recruit a band of dream warriors to take over the job. Bonno (once a blanket, now a bear), Sophia (once a quill, now a crow) and Amali (a sock monkey) must fight their own fears and insecurities as they battle the insecurities which inhabit and inhibit the lives of children - from falling to being caught with no clothes on at school.
I enjoyed every page of this graphic novel. There were points where I felt a little lost and confused but this only encouraged a second, richer reading because of it. Schwarz's sketchy, style lends to the dream-like shift in action and I can see her world sparking brightly in the imagination of its child readers.
