Imagine your life if you could literally never sleep! Your parents friends and neighbours try absolutely EVERYTHING they can think of to help you nod off, warm milk at bedtime, counting sheep, bedtime stories, you name it they've tried it - and yet nothing has ever worked, and the whole town are exhausted! Well this is the real life of poor Harry, who has never ever been asleep.
Then Harry's long lost Uncle Pete comes for a visit, and hearing about Harry's problem, and being a great adventurer - he sets out in his Stardust powered old plane to a lost land to find the cure for sleepless nights. With his Rayban wearing super cool mouse sidekick TM, who - despite losing her entire family somehow retains a positive can-do attitude to life, combined with intelligence and bravery to help guide Uncle Pete on their journey.
There's so much magic in this story, it cannot fail to appeal to readers 5+, and is a perfect chapter book for those ready to move on from Picture books to something more challenging, and yet still engaging and perfectly pitched for young readers. The illustrations by the talented Will Hughes bring the story to life and aid those used to PB reading to visualise the story.
Another brilliant read from Little Door Books that you simply shouldn't miss!
