DreamScraps
Katie Thompson
Ma?ic It's not a typo. The question mark gets to the heart of the word. Is magic real? It depends on what you believe. Katie, a shy teenager, is starting to believe that magic is real, not something only in books. Katie has discovered that by drawing sketches of what she wants in her DreamScraps journal, she can alter her reality. Soon Katie learns to travel to other sublens, alternative dimensions, curled up in sub-length units of space. In the sublen Narfar, she meets: Hazel, an age-shifter who changes appearance randomly between various ages; Emily, a girl who, like Katie, discovered the DreamScrap dimensions on her own; Dazi, the brave heartthrob; Elizabeth and Lana, girlfriends and DreamScrap students with Katie under Hazel; And . DarkDreamers, an army of anti-magic pessimists led by power-hungry Elena. Can Katie and friends reopen the portals to the sublens that Elena closed? Will Katie learn enough DreamScrap magic to fulfill her destiny as Mystérieux, liaison to Dardale, keeper of the portals? And, most importantly . Is magic real? What do you believe?
