Book 4, "The Twelve Labors of the ONEIRONAUTS," is a book of dreams -- or maybe nightmares. An "oneironaut" is a traveler in a lucid dream, and in this installment of the Cousin Chronicles, the Cousins and Pets become oneironauts, trapped in Dreamland.
To earn their release, they must perform a variety of "labors," that through sheer coincidence may remind us of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Pilgrim's Progress, The Wizard of Oz, The Odyssey, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and "Argonautica" by Apollonius of Rhodes.
In Dreamland, they learn two things: they control the dream, and one never knows when a plague of dung beetles will come in handy.

(In real life this was Logan, but Lukas asked to be a star athlete in this book, so I gave the story to him.)

Chapter 3: Blueberry Tricerotops
21 APR 2020 · In Chapter 3, the Cousins and Pets are waffling around the galley table, hoping Amelia's drawings won't get them in another war, and trying to think of something fun to do, when Logan gets an idea. He does that, sometimes.
