Sophie parents distill dreams to sell, which is ironic,
since Sophie, who has just turned twelve, has never been able to have a dream
of her own. Despite her desire to dream
and be more like everyone else, Sophie loves living above her parents’
bookstore. That is, until her parents go
missing after she meets a mysterious stranger buying dreams on her
birthday. As Sophie goes on a journey to
find them, she finds some unlikely allies, but her journey is fraught with
danger.
In a world where dreams and
reality merge, Sophie and her best friend, Monster, take us on a fun and
sometimes tense ride. The book ends
satisfactorily and unless your dreams lean more into the Stephen King realm,
very relatable.
