Story Behind The Book

I came up with the Dream Seeker series idea after reading several series with my own kids -- Magic Tree House, Secrets of Droon, Geronimo Stilton, How to Train Your Dragon... I love the series where kids have fantastical adventures so I asked myself, "by what new vehicle could my characters have such adventures?" The answer was dreams.

As seen on Amazon....<br />This is a great book for young readers. It allows their imaginations to take them into the world of Dream Seekers. Great for boys and girls and likely to get them hooked on the world of reading. <br /><br />This book was obviously written by someone who KNOWS how young boys think, and what they like to do. The illustrations are fun and I can't wait to read the next installment. <br /><br />This is a short but action-packed book that will hook your young reader from the first page. It is a good story, and the premise leaves much material for future books, while still working as a stand-alone tale. It is a great choice for read-aloud time, but young readers will manage it on their own, as well. We can't wait for the next book! <br /><br />This was a fun and exciting read, and I think young boys and girls will enjoy it and want more! What an exciting concept that you could dream and actually be in the dream with friends and family. I look forward to the next Dream Seeker book. <br /><br />It was really awesome. I liked how the family could go into their dreams. I gave a copy to my teacher. :) :) :) <br /><br />What a wild ride! This book was wonderful! My kids really enjoyed it, even though they are girls and the books hero is male. I also noticed other reviewers displeasure with some of the vocabulary/voice that our young dreamer exhibits. I actually don't have a problem with that at all. Some of the words and phrases that come out of my daughters mouths boggle the mind, and I think that kids are simply a lot more savvy nowadays than we ancients were. :) The creativity displayed by this author is impressive, and I really look forward to seeing more from her in the future!
