Bought this as a Christmas present for my daughters and the oldest could not put it down. She got on the 25th and finished it on the 26th. I think she loved it. No…she LOVED it. Thank you for sharing your gift!!!
Stephanie,

Hi-
I just bought Dreamer and I can not find the appropriate age to read this?
I have a 6th grade girl.
Thx!
6th grade is totally appropriate for reading this book. I have a girl in 7th grade who read the book when she was in 6th an adored it.
Hi! I just read your book and loved it! I’m doing a challenge for school and cannot find a word count anywhere. Thanks for writing!
Thanks for reaching out! This Dreamer has around 106,000 words. Good luck!
