The Dreamsnatcher by Abi Elphinstone

5.0

I wish I were 10 years old again. I wish I could go back in time and hand 10 year old me this book because it was around about that age I slowly began to stop reading. I still read plenty (it wasn't until high school that I almost never read for pleasure) but not nearly as much as I used to and nor was I getting much enjoyment out of it. But I would have ADORED this book - I mean, I still did at 19 so I know I'd have read it 100 times over as a child.

This book is full of fun, adventure, mystery, magic, and a wildcat who I love with all my heart (just wait for book 2, he was trying to rip my heart out of my chest and shred it with his claws at one point!) I just cannot express how wonderful this book is and I cannot fathom that there are publishers out there who don't want to publish it because the main character is a Gypsy. This book is fabulous and every child browsing the 9-12 section at my work gets told I love it and think they should read it! (which freaks some of them out - most of them are like me at that age, shy and don't want to talk to kids their own age let alone an "adult"!)

READ IT READ IT READ IT!
