I have entered the Freebie for this book. When I looked inside of it I was wishing it would not stop at the 1st chapter! And boom! A second chapter came and I kept reading, feeling like the book was pulling me toward it. If you have any extra copies of this book, please, I would be overjoyed if you could give it to me. Thank you!

This seems like an absolutely amazing book to read! I love to read books by authors that have original ideas and this book seems to certainly fulfill that standard. That is why i want to win this book.
OMG... that is sooooo true.. Because this book is completely original.... Just by even reading the first couple of pages... you know that this book is completely amazing :D...
Yes! that's how I felt! the book is utterly unique couldn't get any better ^-^
This story is about a girl named Sophie, her parents, and a whole lot more of people/dreams. In the beginning of this book, you find out that Sophie's parents are dream sellers. They sell dreams, and buyers that buy dreams get dreams from them. But they have to do this in secret, because of the Night Watchmen, people that don't like dreams and will ruin dream bottles and will be mean. In this story, Sophie takes a dream bottle and dreams up Monster, a monster that she named Monster.This talking monster and Sophie, bond together and love each other. Sophie finds Madison, Lucy, and Ethan, and gives them dreamcatchers to help with their nightmares. Then a customer named Mr. Nightmare comes, and everything changes... If you like fantasy books, then this story is DEFINITELY for you. This book has many features. Funny, scary, and sly are just a few. I've got to say, that Monster is my favorite character, because of his fun going attitude, and his sly comments. Here is an example of one of his comments taken from the text, ''What would you like to eat Monster? (Ask's Sophie's mom). '' Small children?'' Monster says hopefully, then saying that it was a ''joke''. ''Also, If you don't like killer bunny's, I advise you to stop reading this, because there are things about 10 gazillion more times viscous than killer/ninja bunnies. I loved this book so much! I hope you enjoy it!
This book was really good. It tells the story of Sophie, dreamless girl and daughter of dream shop owners. She has a special ability, to bring things out of dreams, like Monster, her pet monster. When her parents are kidnapped by a shady Mr. Nightmare, will she save them?
