For fans of A Snicker of Magic and The Miscalculations of Lightning
Girl comes a suspenseful dark fantasy duology, perfect for middle
school readers that love stories of magic and sisterhood with a dash of
danger.
Maren Partridge loves working in her family's dream shop where she can
hand-craft any dream imaginable. The shop has only one rule. Dreams
cannot be given to a person without their consent. Maren has no problem
with this--until her sister, Hallie, has an accident that leaves her in
a coma. Maren's certain she can cure Hallie with a few well-chosen
dreams. And when no one is watching, she slips her a flying dream.
But a strange new customer from the shop has been following Maren and
knows what she did. Now she's laid the perfect trap to blackmail Maren
into creating custom nightmares for a dark and terrible purpose. As
Maren gets drawn further into the sinister scheme, she must make a
choice: to protect her family or to protect the town from her family's
magic.
