The Curse of the Harvester by Greg Grunberg

Cover image for Dream Jumper. Book two , Curse of the harvesterThis is the second in the Dream Jumper series.  In this one Ben and Jake have started a successful dream jumper business.  Jake gets the clients and monitors Ben while he helps people turn their nightmares into good dreams.There is still evil brewing at the sleep center, and Jake is almost captured by it until an unexpected helper from the waking world joins in the battle against dream darkness.

This is a fresh riff on the kid superhero theme.  Like all superheroes, Jake has a double life, as a regular kid when he is awake, and a superhero while he is asleep. The characters are, if not deep, at least likeable, the action is fast paced, and the illustrations do a great job of moving the story along. This is a good choice for kids who liked the Amulet series. (2017, 216 p)
