It's another fabulously fun adventure with Dorrie - the little witch whose stockings were always mismatched, whose hat was always on crooked, and whose penchant for getting into (and out of) scrapes never diminished - in this fourteenth book of Patricia Coombs' twenty-book series! When all the residents of Witchville are stricken with a seemingly unending series of terrible nightmares, they suspect that the Dream Witch may have run out of the potion she uses to control her Dreamyard Monsters. The Big Witch sets out to conjure up the Dream Witch, but leaves the necessary potion behind (does anyone else wonder what the Big Witch can be thinking, at times...?), leading Dorrie to set out in pursuit. When Dorrie finds herself accidentally transported to the Dreamyard, and confronting its monsters, her use of her mother's potion has some very unexpected results...

I know it's getting redundant, at this point, but Dorrie and the Dreamyard Monsters was another title in this series - like Dorrie and the Blue Witch, or Dorrie and the Amazing Magic Elixir - that I checked out again and again from the library, as a young girl. This one was particularly creepy, at least in the scenes where Dorrie is pursued by the monsters, and particularly heart-warming and amusing, when Dorrie "conquers" the monsters. I simply love that contrast, and Dorrie's droll expression, when being hugged by all those monsters! All in all, "just" another five-star Dorrie book! I know, I know - is there any other kind? ( )
