HTML:Nightmares! The Sleepwalker Tonic is the sequel to the hilariously scary New York Times bestselling novel Nightmares! by multitalented actor Jason Segel and bestselling author Kirsten Miller. You thought the nightmares were over? You better keep the lights on! Charlie Laird has a dream life. 1) He has a weirdo stepmom who runs an herbarium. 2) He lives in a purple mansion with a portal to the Netherworld. 3) Since they escaped from the Netherworld, he and his best friends have been sleeping like babies. But Charlie can’t shake the feeling that something strange is afoot. Charlotte’s herbarium used to be one of the busiest stores in Cypress Creek. Now her loyal following is heading to Orville Falls for their herbal potions. Weirder, though, Orville Falls is suddenly filled with . . . zombies? At least, they sure look like the walking dead. Rumor has it that no one’s sleeping in Orville Falls. And Charlie knows what that means. Things are getting freaky again. Praise for the Nightmares!

Sweet, charming, and imaginative."—Kirkus Reviews "An engaging and creative story...woven with a generous amount [of] humor."—VOYA "There's humor and a fairly high ick-factor."—School Library Journal "Cleverly crafted...This novel presents just the right mix of 'scary and humorous.'"—ILA Literacy Daily.

This installment, much like the first, had its very own creative, individual plot. Though it is a sequel, it didn't feel like it was dependent on the first novel. Instead, it was a separate, brilliant story simply set in the same universe around the same characters. While the first book created the concept, the second book begins the conflict that I assume will carry on into the rest of the series.
Though I read the book for my younger brother, I think I may have loved it more than he did! I really enjoyed getting back into this fictional universe and re-meeting all the wonderful characters that belong to it. I absolutely loved the world building that took place in the novel and everything that is yet to come. Not all questions are answered by the end of this installment and its ending created an interesting set-up for the next book, of which my little brother and I look forward to!!! (
