INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Dilloway, Margaret

Xander and the Dream Thief

(3) 4-6 Momotaro series. Illustrated by Choong Yoon. Xander (Xander and the Lost Island of Monsters) is adjusting to the return of his mother, a fairy. His fears of the oni are causing him nightmares, and his grandmother gives him a special baku charm--which brings its own dangers. Dilloway successfully makes Japanese folklore accessible to young adventure fans. Occasional creepy, atmospheric illustrations are interspersed.
