A giant Irish wolfhound might be the dog of David's dreams in the
third book in the Stanley Family series, a companion to The Headless
Cupid, from three-time Newbery Honor winner Zipha Keatley Snyder.
With five children, a raven, and a pet turkey named King Tut, the
Stanley house is full-to-bursting. But David desperately wants a
dog--even though his dad has forbidden another pet. So when Blair begins
sleepwalking and having dreams of an enormous dog that comes to the
house every night, David assumes Blair just wants a dog too. But what if
Blair's Nightmare, as the kids quickly name the dog, isn't only a dream?
Is Nightmare the dog they've always wanted? And how can the kids keep
him--without letting their parents know?
