Sixteen year old Jordan
Fitzpatrick is a boy who dreams. Not ordinary dreams, but extraordinary dreams.
Images of dragons flourish in Jordan’s nightmares, visions of school, death and
sometimes destruction. But Jordan is also besieged by a terrible need to save
something. He dreams of a shadow people and of mysteries. In school, he learns
in Religious Studies how to meditate, to understand dreams and OBE – out of body
experiences. But when his brother is in the hospital, Jordan has the strangest
dream of all. His brother’s spirit introduces him to Lavender Shop – where
Jordan discovers a scroll that is somehow connected to him. Now Jordan is on a
mission to find his destiny and understand his foreboding dreams that are
guiding him. A book about understanding dreams will help lead him through the
journey. The more Jordan unravels his future premonitions, the more the past
races up to catch him.
The Boy Who Dreams" is a well-written book with
interesting characters, dialogue and a vibrant setting. The writer has a
wonderful way of describing Jordan’s surroundings and bringing to life the boy's
intense dreams and nightmares. Jordan is as likable as they come, struggling
with his brother’s untimely death and also the average teen issues of fitting in
at school and even bullying. The setting of the story is also enhanced by
pictures throughout the book. Cesar has written a well-rounded novel full of mystery and intrigue that most age groups can read and enjoy. A remarkable read filled with adventure.
