Book Reviews (5)
I rate this book a 4 star because Lois Lowry shows her creativity of dreams and nightmares. I made a connection because John was in a nightmare which would happen to me at least every 2 weeks. This book seeks to tell the origin story of dreams by following a supernatural being called Littlest One, a fairy-like creature who, taking memories from common household objects, uses them to weave beautiful dreams. This is my review on this book, Gossamer.
Lois Lowry did it again! This colorfully-written book tells about the life of a little dream-giver and that of an elderly woman and a boy in foster care. The things I felt and thought felt real and I felt as though I was in the book. I felt like I'd known the characters for years and I knew them like the back of my hand. This book is a five-star story through and through. Very good!
A good book. It tells the story of dream-givers, nightmares and how they help John, an abused and angry foster child.
I love this book! I am actually reading it right now
