At the close of their arcade adventure, Nate, Summer,
Trevor, and Pidgeon were warned about Belinda and Jonas White’s remaining
magical sister, Camilla. Several months later, the Dreams and Screams
International Carnival comes to town and odd things begin to happen. People go
missing, carnival patrons obsessively return, and outlandish items pop up
around town. However, any outside magic is blocked from the carnival’s
premises. Facing a new threat, John Dart enlists the Blue Falcons again to find
out if Camilla’s magic is behind the attraction. The friends uncover that the
carnival is stealing patrons’ dreams and using that power to expand the
attraction at an insane rate. As the carnival’s influence grows, both dreams
and reality are at risk. Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pidgeon must use their past
magical experiences and some new magic candy to save both the dream world and
the real world before the carnival takes over both.
After eleven years, Mull has delivered on his promise to

of their new famous classmate, YouTuber Zac Foster. They all must decipher
between what is real and what is fantasy when it comes to staying friends,
facing personal fears, and working together to stop the carnival’s influence. A
thrilling, suspenseful, and colorful roller-coaster read sure to mesmerize and excite
