I found this book interesting and confusing. We meet the Wolcotts at a Christmas party in Ithaca, NY. Michelle seems non to happy with her life and so her migraines return, along with questions about what she should be doing with her life. I didn't much care for the fox telling the tale and the new age spiritual connotations.

My children enjoyed this book , and I loved the Illustrations. A Great book !!!

This wonderful children's storybook is about a Princess named Emmalina Lucida Reverie who lives in a posh palace on a silk bed. Emmalina has a dream that is so glorious that she tucks it into her jewelry box for safekeeping. Unfortunately, a thief tries to take that dream, propelling Emmalina to start on a quest to get her dream back and in the process learn about compassion and caring. This is a very nice and colorfully illustrated book that is really good bedtime reading for a young child!

I really wish I could've injoyed this book. I tried to like it. I like the idea of it and the issues the main character has to deal with seem realistic. The story just didn't pull me in. I felt like I was forcing myself to read it (and I was) when usually I can pick up a book and devour it in a short period of time. It just felt pointless to me, but I am going to try to read it again and see if I can get into it better. I'm just kind of at a loss for this one at the moment. When I reread it show more and if I feel differently about it, I will surely come back and change this review, but for now, this is just how I feel about this one. show less
