Molly is a young girl with far too many bullies. What she needs is a friend - a big one with fur, fangs, and terrible claws. Unfortunately, what she gets is Nightmare, an argumentative creature who seems put off by the notion that he will be a little girl's sidekick. Despite their differences, the two develop a loyal friendship that spans Molly's entire life. Molly & Nightmare deals with the complicated emotions surrounding the loss of a loved one but told in a humorous, accessible way. The illustrations by David Spencer perfectly capture this unique friendship and the sadness when Molly passes.
