'''Longlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2016'''
Twelve year old Moll wakes in the night to find herself deep in the dark forest. The nightmare that haunts her sleep has brought her to a place of danger, summoned there by the evil Skull and his wicked sorcery. Moll and her fiercely protective wildcat, Gryff, must fight back against the dark magic before it is too late. At first she does not understand why she has been chosen for the task but as her chilling adventure continues Moll learns more about her past and the part it will play in saving those she loves from Skull and the horror he threatens.
The Dreamsnatcher will probably appeal to readers who enjoy the early Harry Potter books and I have a feeling that the second in the series will be eagerly anticipated. Recommended.
If young readers enjoy this type of story the Bookbag has put together a list of the [[Top Ten Books for Young Readers That Feature a Passage Between Worlds]] which you may find helpful. My personal favourites are [[The Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis]] which in my view deserve six stars! You might also appreciate [[Gabriel's Clock by Hilton Pashley]]. {{toptentext|list=Top Ten Books for Confident Readers 2015}}
