The Vault of Dreamers
by Caragh M. O'Brien
~4.5 stars~
THE VAULT OF DREAMERS by Caragh O'Brien was recommended me by a high school English teacher that's hard to impress when it comes to YA books. So when she told me that I had to read this, you can say that I was more then intrigued and hopeful.
This book is about a selective art school that's also it's own reality show that focuses around the students and I've got to say, THE VAULT OF DREAMERS pulled it off. I can also honestly say that for the last 150 pages or so I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen and loved every minute of it.
What I loved most, though, was the characters. Even though I didn't really love our narrator, fifteen-year-old Rosie Sinclair, I really enjoyed the supporting cast: Burnham, a video game creator, Paige, a dancer and Linus, a boy who works in the school as a cook. Those three were what really made me want to finish, and those three are who will make me pick up the next book. And yes, there will be a next book - I mean, gah. That ending. I wished I'd known this was the start to a new series before I picked it up, that way I would have at least suspected that something big was going to happen at the ending.
However, I will tell you that I think this book is directed at younger readers more, probably students from sixth grade to Sophomore year of high school will enjoy it the most although I clearly loved it. This book is a perfect read for a day off when you just want to read something fun with an interesting world and characters.
