Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Papademetriou delivers her most fantastical, emotional story yet in this tale of a young girl's journey into her dreams to save her brother from the darkness that surrounds him. Perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in Time, The Phantom Tollbooth, and Echo.
Every night, your sleeping body stays in your bed, while the you of you travels deep beneath the earth to ride the complex rails of the Dreamway....
Stella Clay thought it was just another ordinary day at her drab gray school. Then her twin brother, Cole, is attacked by a shadowy creature on their way home, and Stella's world turns positively peculiar. Suddenly, her brother seems different, almost dimmer, like a candle about to flicker out.
And then a talking mouse shows up in her bedroom.
Stella discovers that the real Cole has been taken prisoner in the Dreamway. Determined to find him, she sets out with the "help" of a stuck-up rodent, a nervous dragonfly, and a mysterious pirate, and finds her way to the darkest edge of the Dreamway to bring her brother home...before he's trapped forever.
In this allegorical exploration of childhood depression, with a moving author note that follows, Lisa Papademetriou gently and safely illustrates for her readers the emotional effects of anger, anxiety, and insecurity--and illuminates a pathway to hope and recovery.
Ages 8-12.
After her twin brother is attacked, Stella Clay senses there is something different about him, but a talking mouse tells her that her brother has been kidnapped and taken prisoner in the Dreamway and it is up to her to rescue him.
