Where
do dreams come from? What stealthy nighttime messengers
are the guardians of our most deeply hidden hopes and our half-forgotten
fears? Drawing on her rich imagination, two-time Newbery winner
Lois Lowry confronts these questions and explores the conflicts
between the gentle bits and pieces of the past that come to life
in dream, and the darker horrors that find their form in nightmare.
In this haunting novel that tiptoes between reality and imagination,
two people—a lonely, sensitive woman and a damaged, angry
boy—face their own histories and discover what they can be
to one another. Their strength comes from a tiny, caring creature
they will never see.
