In Dreams

Gr 8 Up—Iris wants more than anything to have a decent night's sleep but not if it separates her from the man of her dreams, Sebastian. Utterly confused by the craziness of her life, she is shocked to discover she is the daughter of the Greek god of dreams, Morpheus. Unfortunately, Iris's very existence has created conflict among her father and his brothers. Is there a way for her and Sebastian to be together, despite the war she struggles to survive? An entertaining twist on the conflicts and issues among different Greek gods and goddesses, In Dreams looks at the power of love and friendship versus hatred and greed. With interesting characters, a fast-moving plot, as well as the modern setting with mythological elements and quite readable storytelling, this title is especially appropriate for reluctant readers.—Heidi Grange, Summit Elementary School, Smithfield, UT
