Gaiman, N. (1995). The Sandman (Vol. 2): The Doll’s House. New York: DC Comics.
Recommendation source: The second volume of a Graphic Novel I previously enjoyed
Reading level: Grades 10-12
Brief summary: This second installment of the Sandman Graphic Novels is just as excellent as it’s predecessor. The themes of this series are slightly more mature and as such it is recommended for older students. In this volume of the story, Dream has his personal items back and is back in business as a creator of dreams. The main focus of this installment is Rose, granddaughter to Unity Kincaid (of Vol. 1). Rose and her mother are called to meet dying Unity, unaware of their relationship to her. Rose has a brother who has gone missing and Unity requests that she find him. Rose encounters Dream and she is told that she is a vortex and that creates several problems regarding the realms between dreams and the living.
