Thread of Dreams

By Emily Barnett

Book Overview

Nova's job is to harvest dream threads from unaware humans to sustain her sunless planet against a malicious parasite. But on one particular night, she enters the dream of a boy who knows her-who has been dreaming of her for a long time. And in that moment, everything changes.

Arlo's dream-girl always told him about a wonderous world beyond his imaginings, but he never thought that world could be a real escape from the traumatic realities he daily faces. Until the night that Nova becomes more than just a dream. Now Arlo must decide if escaping his trauma is worth the cost of following his dream-girl into a new reality.

As Nova and Arlo draw ever closer together, so too does the darkness in both their worlds grow stronger. In the end, it just might turn out that the only way to defeat the nightmares plaguing both their lives is for them to face the possibility of eternal separation.

Do your heart a favor!

Thread of Dreams transported me to the bioluminescent world of Lyra in all its wonder and mystery, capturing my heart with its lovable characters - especially Nova and Arlo with their connection that transcends worlds. Together they discover light, goodness, and love in the face of mass darkness and chaos. But more than a sweet romance, this story epitomizes the concept G. K. Chesterton immortalized - “Fairy tales do not tell children dragons exist. Children already know the dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” This adult needed reminded that the dragons can be slayed and that courage can be found by resting in the knowledge of the love I carry both from those who came before and those who still are. Do your heart some good and read this beautiful tale that encapsulates the hope and promise of moral imagination.
