only 100 yards from the border to the Place. Laura comes from a world similar
to our own except for one difference: It is next to the Place, an unfathomable
land that fosters dreams of every kind and is inaccessible to all but a select
few, the dreamhunters. These are individuals with the ability to catch
larger-than-life dreams and relay them to audiences in the magnificent dream
palace. People travel from all around to experience the benefits of the
hunters’ unique visions. Now, fifteen-year-old Laura and her cousin Rose,
daughters of dreamhunters, are old enough to find out if they qualify to enter
the Place. But nothing can prepare them for what they are about to discover. In
the midst of a fascinating landscape, Laura’s dreamy childhood is ending, and a
nightmare is beginning.
This is the first book in the Dreamhunter Duet. Laura is the
girl who wants to please her father and family very much. But she isn’t sure
she wants to be a Dreamhunter. But as her Try is coming up she knows that her
cousin Rose can’t wait to go for it. Laura not wanting to be left out pushes
ahead as well. Things aren’t all that they seem and darker things are going on.
This is a beautifully written story with great imagery. The characters are very
well developed. The changes in Laura from the beginning to the end of the story
show how much a character can grow. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was
one that once I stared I couldn’t finish reading it. I am looking forward to
reading the second book in this duet, Dreamquake.
