Dream Labyrinth (Great Chronicle Book Book 1)

Strange things are happening to David Cunningham.A tornado tears through his quiet town. A hidden compartment appears in the family fireplace. And a talking mouse named Eugene shows up in the attic with news that changes everything: David is the last of the Guardians — protectors of the fragile boundary between the waking world and the realm of dreams. Now thirteen years old and completely unprepared, David must journey into the Other World — a place where castles breathe, nightmares walk on two legs, and every dream ever dreamed has left its mark. His guides? A scholarly mouse with a taste for adventure and Frigia, a proud unicorn shaman who's lost her magic but not her courage. But something ancient has awakened. Akkramon, the nightmare-lord, and his master the Wanderer have set their eyes on both worlds. They've summoned the Labyrinth — a living, devouring maze that feeds on human hopes and grows stronger with every dream it consumes. To stop it, David will need more than courage. He'll need his mother Sarah, his best friend Abigael, and the strength to face a sacrifice no thirteen-year-old should ever have to make."This book is phenomenal.
