A decent reader at the grade four level might find this book fun. The main character, Charlie Benjamin, is special. His nightmares can open portals to the Netherworld, and allow some pretty scary creatures to come through into Earth. Once he realizes what he is capable of doing, he is recruited to attend the Nightmare Academy. Before he can even be accepted, he accidentally opens a portal and lets a very scary creature enter Earth. When the book ends, Charlie has rescued his parents, but the two creatures are still alive and scheming to bring the other two Named to Earth so they can summon the Fifth. This is book one of the NIghtmare Academy series. (  ) JRlibrary | Jan 19, 2009 |  Monsters in the night haunting in your dreams What if they were real? What if they were mean?

(  ) anfirind | Jan 11, 2009 | This was a very good book, I enjoyed reading it and it was a very quick read.

Charlie must find the courage within to face these monsters and save his family and friends. Charlie is like many kids his age, he wants to befriend people and he wants to fit in. And like many kids Charlie has a secret or in real life an insecurity that stops him from making friends. Kids can relate to Charlie and his feelings and some of his experiences, and they will be rooting for him to save the day.

When Charlie Benjamin sleeps, monsters wake up.
It's hard to fit in when your nightmares open portals to the Netherworld, where horrible creatures live—like the class 3 Netherstalker that invaded a sleepover and tried to eat the other children. Luckily there's a place for Charlie—the Nightmare Academy. Built from wrecked ships set in the branches of the world's most incredible tree fort, the Academy trains people to use their unique gifts to fight the monsters that rush in when the lights go out. But Charlie is far more powerful than anyone ever imagined, and his entrance exam opens a portal straight to the heart of the Netherworld, where ultimate evil plots Earth's destruction. He'll need all his cleverness—and the help of his new friends—to save himself and his family and to put these bad boys to bed once and for all. The monsters under your bed are real!
But never fear—the Nightmare Academy will train Nethermancers and Banishers like you to destroy them!
