A review by mat_tobin
The Sleepwalkers by Viviane Schwarz
4.0
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.
