The Book of Stolen Dreams (The Stolen Dreams Adventures): 1

Product Information

My television adaptation of The Night Manager was released by the BBC in 2015 starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie.

I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. It is well written, engaging, challenging for the age group it is aimed at (9-12) and has some amazing illustrations that capture the imagination.We don’t know why this has happened, but Farr immediately sets up a tense and unsettling atmosphere.

It felt like we were given a lot of clues, bits and pieces to put together along with our two main characters, and while it wasn't too complex, I had moments where I failed to piece the puzzles.The underlying commentaries on kindness, family, love and death kept the story interesting and gave me plenty to think about after I'd read it. The story follows Rachel and Robert’s quest to keep the book from Charles Malstain’s wicked grasp while trying to locate the crucial missing pages. Unfortunately for Rachel and Robert, their father is captured and imprisoned, leaving them as sole protectors of the book. A book that was a whole lot of fun, and one I would definitely recommend to middle grade readers/fans.
