Twelve-year-old Moll Pecksniff wakes one night in the middle of the forest, lured there by a recurring nightmare – the one with the drums and the rattles and the masks. The Dreamsnatcher is waiting. He has already taken her dreams and now he wants her life.
Because Moll is more important than she knows… The Oracle Bones foretold that she and Gryff, a wildcat that has always been by her side, are the only ones who can fight back against the Dreamsnatcher’s dark magic. Suddenly everything is at stake, and Moll is drawn into a world full of secrets, magic and adventure.
Catapult into this page-turning adventure from the author of Sky Song, perfect for fans of J.K. Rowling, Michelle Harrison and Eva Ibbotson.

The book was great. I liked the character Gryff the best because he keeps others safe even though it means to risk his life. I would recommend this book to a friend who likes books about magic and adventure.

I like this book because it has lots of twists and turns and it is full of surprises. My favourite character is gryff a wild cat that is always by Molls side. I would recommend this book to 9 year olds and above if your reading alone, if your reading with your parent I would recommend this book to 7 year olds and above.

It was packed full of adventure and it was also factual. It interested me because I really enjoy reading fantasy and adventure books. My favourite character was Gryff, the wildcat, as he was an amazing friend to Moll, the main character, when she needed him. I would definitely recommend it!

I think you should read this book because it is amazing. It has suspense and plots. But the question is: Will Moll find the first amulet before the Shadowmasks do?
