Today’s book is “The Book Of Stolen Dreams” by David Farr.

Ok, you might be thinking that the brilliant story I’m reviewing today is the book of stolen dreams, but actually this book has an amazing amount of characters and amazingly described settings.

The book follows two siblings, Rachel and Robert, who live in a place called Krasnia. Their father, who works in a library, gives them a very special book before he gets arrested. But this is no ordinary book—it has the power to bring people back from the dead! The problem is, it’s missing an important page, and a very evil man, Charles Malstain, is after it.

Rachel and Robert go on an exciting (and dangerous!) adventure to protect the book and find the missing page. Along the way, they meet new friends, escape from scary guards, and uncover secrets about the book’s power.

Rachel and Robert go on a thrilling journey to find the missing page while being chased by Malstain’s guards. The whole time, I was on the sitting down on the most comfortable spot on my bed, wondering what would happen next.

One of my favourite parts of the book was when Rachel and Robert had to escape through the city and hide from the guards. I could imagine how scary and exciting it must have been for them. I also loved how the story had unexpected twists, like the truth about the book’s powers and the people who helped (or tricked) Rachel and Robert.

The story was full of dreams and surprises. Just when I thought I knew what would happen, something unexpected happened!
The characters felt real, especially Rachel.

She was brave and determined, but she also had doubts and fears, which made her relatable.
The world of Krasnia was so well described that I could imagine everything, from the dark, dangerous streets to the grand places where secrets were hidden.

You must be wondering, why does Malstain want the book.

Maybe to bring a loved one back or bring back somebody he was really close to, but, the truth is Malstian himself was ill.
He wants the book so when he dies he can bring himself back to the world.

This book {the one I am reviewing} had some times where I just felt like I was walking alongside Rachel and Robert and this book taught me that even in difficult times, hope and courage can make a difference. Rachel and Robert never gave up, even when things seemed impossible.

I loved every moment of this reading brilliant book.
