The Book of Stolen Dreams (The Stolen Dreams Adventures)

This is a superbly written book that I highly recommend for children who are not put off by a little darkness in the stories they read.The two main characters, Rachel and Robert, each have important parts to play in the hunt for the secret of the book, but it is Rachel who really steals the show. With a big heart and courage to match, she has a strong sense of justice and the importance to fight for what is right, even when the cost may seem to be too great to bear.The adventure is well thought out, set within a dark and oppressive land ruled by a dark dictator who hates children. There are parallels to be drawn with chapters in history as well as certain events in today’s world, painting a grim picture of life under highly restrictive rules and regulations. With almost every kind of fun being outlawed and teaching undertaken under very tight guidelines, Rachel and Robert still manage to be a beacon of light and hope throughout.The Book of Stolen Dreams is a powerful story that puts the heroes in danger almost constantly, yet still delivers a highly emotional and satisfying ending.David Farr has written a great book and I look forward to the sequel when it is released.

My gosh, this is epic. This is an epic adventure of secrets, privacy, a book that is much sought after, an evil dictator and the most incredible bunch of characters. You can’t beat a good bit of an adventure to save the world from an evil man while running into challenge after challenge. This is going to hit the world and take it by storm… and would make an EXCEPTIONAL film. I loved every second of this and raced through it.

This is a lovely book, so well written it draws you into the adventures, pain, suspense, love that the characters experience.An amazing gripping adventure of magic and courage that keeps you turning the pages!The characters are so well portrayed and have a depth not often found in books for this age range.

It was a Christmas present for ten year old grandson who enjoyed it very much once he’d worked his way through all his other presents .

Wonderful writing of interest to a wide readership of all ages.

I'm not sure who enjoyed this book better, me or my 9 year old that I read it too..?The descriptive language the book is written in makes you feel like you are there, you want to cry with the characters, feel the fear they feel and want to celebrate with them! Now the waiting game for book 2!(My 9 year old has a mature interest level, this would suit 9+)

I read this with my 9year old daughter taking it in turns to be the narrator. Some of our joint story sessions involve dull children’s stories, however with this one we were both hooked! So much so, I’m as keen as my daughter for the next book to be released.

I loved the choice of words and characters.How Robert and Rachel split apart and then find each other again.This book is good for anyone who likes a dramatic, sad and happy story.

Historia my original y adictiva con giros inesperados y continua acción. Me ha gustado mucho y estoy deseando leer la segunda parte. Tenedlo el cuenta si es un regalo!
