The Lost Lullaby
by Jason Segel, Karl Kwansy, Kirsten Miller
3.5 stars
The conclusion (?!) of the Nightmares! series is the best of the bunch. Charlie Laird’s growing up, something I always find a positive in middle grades, since to keep a series going, young characters sometimes stagnate. One of my favorite fictional things is when the lines between good and evil blur, which has been an underlying tenet to this series in some sense, but really is actually happening here with ICK and INK.
The plot’s got a lot more shades of gray than ever before, and it feels like a good place to end things. I really love the way that Charlie learns about himself and the way that everything resolves. The prophecy element’s pretty stupid, but otherwise this book is really solid.
As per usual, Segel’s narration makes the whole thing a delight. This series is definitely worth listening to.
