I really enjoyed reading this story. The plot of the story was very creative and because the story occurred in Maddy's dream, the author was able to add in some especially creative elements such as having dinosaurs in the jungle. This made the story very exciting and suspenseful. The characters in the story were very relatable, especially Maddy. She stayed strong even when scary things occurred to her and kept her happy personality throughout the story. I also liked how the author didn't paint all dinosaurs as "bad" in this story, but instead showed how there is good and evil in everything through the evil T.Rex and helpful brontosaurus. The story flowed together very well and is written with mostly simple vocabulary, making it an ideal book for young readers to start reading by themselves. This book contains colorful illustrations, and they really helped to showcase the settings of what was occurring as well as the emotions Maddy and Grace were feeling in the scenes! Maddy's Dream teaches readers about how there will always be a positive even if something bad happens, and the importance of helping each other. This book is an awesome read for young readers looking for a book full of suspense and adventure!
