Loading... The Circus of Stolen Dreamsby Lorelei Savaryn
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) eklein86 | May 27, 2022 |  The premise for this book was very intriguing and I found the further and further into the book I got, the more invested I was in Andrea's dilemma. First the good: there is so much good in tackling the often heavy topic of wanting to forget because something is so painful. The way Reverie is set up, the descriptions of the dream tents and nightmares were vivid and engaging. The pivot in the middle when Andrea starts realizing what's going on was chilling and beautiful at the same time. Sadly, the cons ruined the story for me. Biggest con: I hated the ending.  ) RachellErnst | Jan 5, 2021 | If you're looking for a mild horror story for middle-grade readers, this will fit the bill. A young girl is still grieving the disappearance of her brother when she discovers a strange circus in the forest. Once inside, Andrea joins an eerie cast of circus-goers wandering amidst a bizarre array of living memories. Just the right amount of creepy!

"After Andrea's brother, Francis, disappeared, everything changed. Her world turned upside down, and there was nothing she could do to right it. So when she discovers a magical dream world called Reverie in the woods near her home, Andrea jumps at the chance to escape her pain and go inside. But the cost of admission is high: Andrea must give up a memory in order to enter. And she knows exactly which memory she'd like to give up. Once inside, Andrea discovers tent after tent of dreams come alive; she can fly on a gust of wind, brave swashbuckling pirates and search for buried treasure, reach for--and wish on--a tangible star, and much, much more. But Andrea soon realizes that not all of Reverie's dreams are meant to delight, and the Sandman behind the circus tents seems to have plans of his own. When Andrea finds a tent in which her brother's darkest nightmare has been brought to life, she realizes the dark truth: Reverie is not an escape; it's a trap. Will Andrea and her new friend Penny have what it takes to find Francis, figure out what's really going on in Reverie, and break free from this nightmarish dream world?"--Amazon.
