Dream On
by Shannon Hale
challenging

hopeful
inspiring

“I have so many feelings all the time. And I don’t always know what they mean.”
💭
Cassie is part of a HUGE family. Because of that there usually isn’t enough money, time or attention to go around so when Cassie gets a sweepstakes in the mail promising grand prizes, she sends off for it thinking she’s won. She will use the prizes to get another car for her family, newer furniture and a vacation that will convince Vali to be her best friend. But when the sweepstakes is exposed as a scam, Cassie doesn’t know what to do next. Fighting with friends, loneliness and big emotions, she just wants someone to listen.
💭
This is the first MG graphic novel in a new series by @squeetus with artwork by @marcela_cespedes_art Fans of the series Click, Invisible Emmie and Hale’s own Real Friends will find more book joy on these pages. Themes of empathy, kindness, forgiveness will also be prevalent, as well as show kids who feel big emotions, have high sensitivity, and times of sadness. This title releases August 26! The sequel Dream Big releases in August 2026!
