About the book:

Maxwell Dark is on a mission to help kids hunt down and defeat the nightmares haunting them in this chilling horror graphic novel sequel filled with monsters and mayhem.

Twelve-year-old Maxwell Dark has the gift to enter other kids' dreams to help them fight their nightmares. But ever since he helped Sid face the monster in her dreams, Maxwell has been plagued by his own nightmares: terrifying dreams of him turning into a horrifying monster himself.

And then he finds himself face-to-face with the Bogeyman—yes, that Bogeyman—who tells Maxwell it's his destiny to compete to become the next nightmare king and take the throne. Suddenly his fears of becoming a monster seem more like a prophecy than a dream. Maxwell will have to wrestle with his inner demons while fighting literal demons as he battles through the dreadful competition, where the only thing worse than the prize is who he's competing against...
