review
From New York Times bestselling author Lauren DeStefano comes an
atmospheric and spine-tingling story about four children who dream in
tandem.
Tucked deep in the woods and surrounded by a great iron fence lies
Brassmere Academy for the Extraordinary, a school for orphans with
strange and wonderful gifts. Twelve-year-old Plum has lived there for as
long as she can remember. Each night, she ventures into her dreams
alongside her three best friends, Vien, Gwendle, and Artem to fight
monsters and journey on dangerous quests.
But one night, Plum gets a mysterious warning that she and her friends
are no longer safe. And the next morning, Artem is nowhere to be found.
As Plum, Vien, and Gwendle search for their friend--in both the dreaming
and waking worlds--they start to uncover alarming secrets about
Brassmere and its intentions. Will they be able to find Artem before
it's too late, or will they be next to disappear?
