BLURB
For
Christine, dreams have never meant much. Until she meets Gabriel. Everyone
thinks Christine should stay away from her new coworker at the library-thanks
to his bad reputation-but when her dreams grow more vivid and she becomes
entangled in a dangerous dream world with Gabriel every night, she can't stay
away. Soon it's clear there is far more to dreams than Christine ever imagined,
and now she's on the path to making the biggest, and strangest, decision of her
life.

EXCERPT
It was quickly getting too dark to see, but I knew the park
well. We were heading toward the trail into the forest. I leaned closer to
Gabriel so that our shoulders bumped into each other every few steps. Gently,
he pressed his palm against my back. “Careful,” he whispered. “The path is
uneven here.”
It didn’t take long to fall into a comfortable rhythm with
Gabriel’s footsteps. The trees were like deep black sentinels standing against
a star-speckled sky. I paid attention to the trail beneath my feet. Each step
had to be carefully planted so as to not be caught off guard by the terrain of
wood chips and tree roots. Except for the twinkling stars above the branches,
the darkness had become so complete that it was easy to imagine our bodies
didn’t exist. That only our spirits were floating among and within everything.
Gabriel tenderly took my hand, and the faint silhouette of
our joined hands mingled with the dark of the trees, with the sky overhead, the
earth below. The ancient pulse of the universe hummed around and through us.
It wasn’t until he pulled me back that I realized we’d come
to the edge of the river. A river I’d walked beside countless times before, but
never like this.
REVIEW QUOTES
“Told in very short chapters with alternating points-of-view, Dream Girl tells an enticing story of friendship, adventure, and determining one’s path in life.”
- Randy-Lynne Wach
Review for San Francisco Book Review
“This part-adventure/part-romance will keep readers on the edge of their seats while trying to figure out where it all will end. This will appeal to fans of the Abandon series by Meg Cabot.”
-Deborah L. Dubois
