With a subtle subtext of a boy missing his WWII soldier father, this imaginative story will engage readers despite the overly long text. Eli Treebuckle--fixer, inventor, and nightmare sufferer--heads to the Moonpowder factory at Mr. Moon's request to rescue sweet dreams for the world and for himself. The lushly rendered warm-toned illustrations brim with fantastical details.
