Please send me a private message if you are interested to beta-read my story 'Sleep, Merel, Sleep'. Here's the blurb:
As if her life hadn’t changed enough with the arrival of a sick baby brother and parents who seem to have forgotten she exists, eight-year-old Merel now learns that her sleep has quit on her and that she will have to embark on an uncertain and dangerous journey to recover it ― or never sleep again. Accompanied only by her devoted toy sheep Roger and a vintage alarm clock named Hulda, an overtired Merel checks in to the Black Owl Hotel, from where she must start her search for a place called Lullabye Grove. Travel with Merel into a dreamlike land and meet, among others, a cottoncandy-haired giant, a sleepy king with a strange obsession for feathers and a mysterious old man on a night train going nowhere. Find out why the moonfish are crying, why you should never walk through the Great Yawns, and if poor Merel will finally find her sleep ― or if she will have to stay awake forever.
