I read this during the read-a-thon in the late night hours, and it was a perfect fit. I love Lois Lowry. I haven’t found a book yet by her that I didn’t like, and she is the author I’ve read the most of this year.
This is a tale about dream-givers, nightmare-givers, a little boy, his mother, a puppy, and an older female caretaker. It’s difficult to say more without spoilers so I’ll leave it at that. It was a wonderful book.
2006, 140 pp.
Rating: 4.5
This is one I really, really, really want to pick up soon. Glad you enjoyed it!
I have this on my list for the YA Challenge. I’m looking forward to it.
