(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter Sís. An omniscient narrator describes eight-year-old Susana's encounters with the nightmare-capturing Dream Stealer. As the creature grows weary of his mission, he starts collecting happy dreams. Through fluid prose and vivid, often weird imagery, Fleischman maintains the story's dreamlike state. The tale, abstract at times, is well served by Sís's textured black-and-white illustrations, which help readers visualize the strange creatures and settings.
