(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lucas Turnbloom. Color by Guy Major. In this graphic novel, Ben learns that his ability to jump into people's dreams has strange connections to a group of sleep-clinic patients trapped in a "permanent dream state." Variations in panel size and color palette, and alternation between dreamscapes and the waking world, make this a well-paced adventure despite the series-opening exposition.
