VERY loosely based on Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas, Sally and Jack get married, she wanders into Sleep Land and releases the Sandman. He puts everyone to sleep. The story is about her journey to wake everyone up.
I absolutely hated this book. Such poor writing, and absolutely ruined Sally's character. The author made her weak, pathetic, self-doubting, blaming herself for everything, repeatedly. It was so draining. She based her self-worth around Jack, she felt she needed others to save them, she couldn't do a thing without getting validation from someone else. Horrible, and only teaches girls that they need a man to fulfill their lives. No.
