![]() ![]() Charlie’s mother is dead, and his father has remarried to Charlotte, one of Charlie’s mother’s best friends. It’s the story of a young boy named Charlie, his brother Jack and his friends. Another is that I’ve never liked horror stories, and I’m not sure that I’d have wanted to read this book when I was a kid. And that might be one reason why I had trouble relating to this story. For me, unlike the authors, there is no clear dichotomy between nightmares and dreams, one can easily shift from one to the other, and a dream may have nightmarish elements without being a nightmare. On the other, it never really grabbed me, never succeeded in fully taking me into its world… perhaps it’s something to do with not having suffered greatly from nightmares myself. On the one hand it is a well-written clever story, with a very positive message for kids about overcoming their fears. I really am in two minds about this book.
