Summary: For
Patrick, being twelve years old can be challenging. Add to that the
unusual ability to experience dreams as reality and you begin to
understand, why Patrick never knows what will happen when he falls
asleep. When Patrick's voice begins to change, he declares disaster!
But one magnificent dream will introduce Patrick to some real-life
heroes, who faced far greater adversity. Patrick discovers that his
troubles are minor league in comparison. Will Patrick find the
courage to face his fears?
Review: I was given this book by the
author in exchange for an honest review. This book set my book OCD
off, but it was alright. I just have to get the first one in the
series – because it gnaws on me when I read books in the wrong
order. Drives me absolutely batty really.
This is a cute middle grade read, and
it is great to read with your child. It has a lot of adventure that
is sure to hold interest, and the pacing is fantastic. It is not too
complex for them to comprehend as a beginning, and it is a good read
for advanced readers.
I give kudos to Ms. Ard for her
devleopment of the sibling relationships in this series. This is
about a family of “Dream Seekers” whose dreams are experienced in
reality. In this book, Patrick is being coached by his teenaged
sister Grace, and she helps him improve his confidence and
dream-seeking skills. The conflict between them is realistic, and is
something that I can expect to hear between my roommate's children or
me and my sister when we were their age.
