Mateo and his sister Izzie, middle schoolers in Brooklyn, learn the dream world is a real place with candy and cyber realms, and join other kids to defend it from the Nightmare King.
Kids around nine and up who like fantasy adventure will take to this, and parents of younger ones should preview an episode first. The nightmares are properly menacing, with tense chases and monstrous minions, yet the tone stays hopeful about friendship and teamwork. Mateo's comic-book creation Z-Blob follows him out of a dream, and the group then earns hourglasses by beating a guardian at the Dream Forge.
It is one continuing story that builds slowly, so give it a few episodes; each season has its own arc.
