About This Book
Dreamslinger introduces Aria Loveridge, a fourteen-year-old living at Resthaven, a sanctuary for children with a genetic mutation that allows them to enter a magical dream realm. While this realm is wondrous, the magic is also volatile and potentially lethal. This chapter book, suitable for ages 4-11 (though best for the older end of this range, 9-11, due to the protagonist's age and book length), explores themes of self-discovery, courage, and belonging as Aria learns to control her extraordinary, yet dangerous, abilities. It's a compelling fantasy adventure for readers ready for an immersive story.
"Fourteen-year-old Aria Loveridge lives at the Resthaven Home for Dreamslingers, a safe haven for children born with a genetic mutation that transports them to a powerfully magical realm while they sleep, but this magic can be unpredictable--even deadly."--
