Inject some fun into your reading lessons with our selection of fantastic ‘The Great Dream Robbery’ activities. I can see how this (fourth wall stuff) might be fun for a child but to me it just felt self indulgent and took away from the plot.

The idea of the adventure around and though dreams was fantastic, and the collection of characters were a delight in both the hero and villain stakes. Featuring a hospital heist, a mattress salesman, hairdressing accessories from a skip, a unicorn singing show tunes, and lots of cows, this witty comedy thriller showcases the resourcefulness and courage of a trio of youngsters known as the Dream Bandits.

But, underlying the humour and surreal goings on, are themes of friendship, faith and facing your fears. I would recommend it, they use loads of figurative language, adjectives, and as before is an intriguing and exciting story to read. It tells the story of 12 year old Maya who, unlike most other children her age, actually wants to go to bed early. Fun, fantastical and laugh out loud – it has all a kid’s book needs to be a great bedtime adventure of a read. I can’t wait to listen to the audio version, as I just know it will be as stupendously epic as the Kid Normal narrations.I would definitely recommend this book, it was very funny, it had a very good plot twist and it certainly had suspense! As always, the authors often stop to speak directly to the reader, whether to explain something, apologise for something or to just make us laugh.
