 An interesting take on Kenyan, Brazilian, Caribbean, and Grecian mythologies that is very different from the norm. The triplet gods of Sleep, Dreams, and Nightmares have lived in their separated realms since the mysterious death (murder?) of their mother, Night. When a human child seems to have the power to disrupt their realms, the three must decide whether to work together or against one another to protect the realm of the gods. Reads a little bit like a less-epic Laini Taylor, with an interesting philosophical bent and an imagine-your-own-ending that I thought was fascinating but teen readers might not.
