Tipani Walker and the Nightmare Knot

by Jessica Crichton

Overview

Tipani Walker's nightmare is real.

In fact, The Spoon Man has already trapped her mother among his tarry tentacles, and if he has his way, Tipani will be next. But what the foul phantasm doesn't know is that his latest prey is no ordinary girl. Infused with the ancient magic of a Weaver, Tipani has the power to move through the ever-shifting twin knots of Day and Night, the only place where nightmares can truly be defeated...

...and where they have the most power.

Luckily for Tipani, she won't have to fight alone. Along the way, a knot-obsessed faerie, the girliest girl in the world, and a doll named Chicken, will each add their own force to the fight.

But will it all be enough to conquer Tipani's nightmare before her mother's curse becomes her own?

Editorial Reviews

Gritty and hard-hitting, Tipani Walker and the Nightmare Knot is a well-written and sensitive exploration of the very real challenges that many children face, from neglect and poverty to violence at the hands of drug dealers and criminals. Through the eyes of the sensitive, relatable protagonist, readers get a first-hand account of just how easy it is for such children to be let down by parents, school systems, authority figures, and peers. At the same time, the novel is a gripping adventure filled with imaginative creatures and fantastic worlds that will keep any reader on the edge of their seat. Tipani Walker and the Nightmare Knot is one of the best middle-grade adventures out there—don't pick it up unless you have nothing else to do for the day.
