    a heart filled emotional journey of a perfectly described character is never too much too ask from the amazing Kit Pearson but she really out did herself with this one!

    Before Twilight was even published, my all time favourite book was Awake and Dreaming. This is a touching story about having the hard life: a poor little girl, Theo, with a single parent who has to pan for money. But when a sudden wish gives Theo a new family, you'd think there would be no way things could go bad again. But then it does, and all of Theo's new family, new clothes, new friends, disappears, and she's back with her poor mother, Rae. But there's something new, a ghostly figure that Theo meets in the graveyard.
    I really LOVED this book when I was little, and I still think of this story once in awhile. I would recommend this book to everyone learning to grow up.

    I loved this book so much I read it over and over as a child. There are some great surprises in the story, and the life of the children was so heartbreaking that I couldn't bear to put it down.
    Highly recommend if you want a beautiful story, filled with laughter and tears.

From Our Editors

A magnificent triumph of the imagination, Awake and Dreaming is the story of the desperately poor Theo, who's adopted by the large, kind Kaldor family. Drawn into an enchanting world, she gains the friends and safety that she has always wanted. Soon, though, she finds that these small securities begin to inexplicably slip away... Kit Pearson's novel for readers aged 10 to 12 is an astonishing book that young readers will not soon forget.
