    About this ebook

    In Dreamland, the third book in Alyson Noël's beloved young adult series, Riley Bloom's finding that the afterlife can be a lonely place when all you do is focus on work. So she goes to the place where dreams happen, hoping to find a way to contact her sister, Ever. She meets the director, who tells her about the two ways to send dreams. As a Dream Jumper, a person can jump into a dreamer's dream, share a message, and participate. As a Dreamweaver, an entire dream can be created in a studio and sent to the dreamer. But Dreamweaving was outlawed decades ago, and the studio was boarded up. Thinking it's her only way to reach out to her sister, Riley goes in search of the old studio. There she finds a ghost boy, who's been creating and sending nightmares to people for years. In order to stop him and reach out to Ever, Riley is going to have to confront and overcome her own fears.

      **slight spoilers**Riley Bloom has a habit of overstepping boundaries, finding herself in places she doesn't belong or shouldn't be. None of that has stopped her before and in the third installment of Riley's adventures in the Here and Now, she finds herself trying to reach out to her sister, Ever. She desperately craves becoming a teen and wishes she still had Ever in her life to guide her and offer advice. In some ways, Riley has matured incredibly, yet she still thinks impulsively, acts without thinking things through and speaks exactly what is on her mind. Not bad traits, but all together, they tend to push people away. Slowly, Riley is finding her place in the after life.This series is really special and I love recommending it to younger readers. It hits on a lot of topics like self acceptance, the ability to learn from your mistakes, as well as the important concept of maturity. I loved the fact that Riley realizes her mistakes and learns from them. She finds herself drawn to Dreamland, a place where people can connect with the earth bound and finds her wishing she can communicated and get advice from his sister. She is still craving that all important birthday to become a teenager. She accidentally wanders into Dreamland, which she is told to avoid, and finds a hurt boy that really needs help letting go of that hurt, but finds her temper gets the best of her in trying to help him. I really can't wait until the next installment.

      The last time we left Riley she got involved in a case that wasn't hers to deal with. Bohdi and Riley have faced the council and are shocked by the verdict they received. With Bodhi off doing his own thing Riley feels really lonely with no friends of her own, she's feeling pretty lost. Soon she learns about dreamweaving and is off on her next adventure... in hope to make contact with her sister, Ever.Good story! I love that each book brings a new element to Riley's world. I did enjoy this story more than the one featured in Shimmer. Riley's loneliness is heartbreaking. She longs for change. Being forever 12 years old isn't the greatest notion to deal with. Ever and Riley have a beautiful scene in this book, that I think fans will love. Dreamland is a fast adventure, a fun read. Fans of this author will have no trouble enjoying this new story.Kathleen McInerney is the narrator of Dreamland. I enjoyed her voice. Sweet like Riley. Sweet but not to the point of annoyance.

      This is another book I have been following from the beginning. I loved this book in particular cause this time Riley's learns a big life lesson.What I like most about this book is the characters. This time Riley, is told to take it easy. She does but only to find herself learning things the hard way. I like how Riley comes to realization about things. She realizes what is really holding her back and takes it all in. Riley see whats she truly fears and in it all, she learns a great lesson.I enjoyed the plot that it gave the build up to Riley's epiphany. The reader see Riley struggling with coming to terms with herself and I like that the minor characters play a role in helping her see herself. The scene with Ever is a great sister scene that show how much Ever and Riley are not only alike but different as well. As far apart as they are, they sister bond is just as strong.This is a great middle grade series that show great growth in the characters as well as the plot. I like that the readers not only get an adventure in a great fantasy world, but an adventure in seeing Riley grow up. With dreaming weaving, cute boys, and sister to get great advice from, Riley never lets me down!

      Riley's adventures in the Here & Now continue. In this third installment, Riley is suffering the repercussions of having helped restless souls into crossing over without the Council's permission (see Shimmer). The Council has spoken and the verdict was harsher than expected. They've decided that Riley needs time to "grow" and the best way to accomplish that is for her to take a break from soul catching. With no friends aside from Bodhi and Buttercup, Riley feels alone and lost. Luckily she learns about dreamweaving and finds herself on her next adventure... this time, trying to make contact with her sister, Ever.The thought of being 12... forever, is a hard one to come to grips with, and Riley is having a hard time dealing with it. She wants to turn 13, to finally be a teenager, and when she learns that that is a possibility for her, she wants nothing more than to "grow"... but turning 13 is harder than it seems, especially since she's dead. Riley is the still the carefree and brave young woman we have all come to know and love. While she still acts like her 12 year old self - throwing trantrums and not giving much thought to consequences beyond the moment, she is finally coming into herself. I loved seeing how she matured as well as the many life lessons she learned throughout the story.I thought this was a great installment to the series. Not my favorite in the series but a good one nonetheless.

      There is no doubt about how well written the Riley Bloom series is! That is the main thing I loved since the first book. Unfortunately this series has a track record (in my opinion) of being a little boring. In terms of creativity, Dreamland exceeded the previous books and I was really happy about that!Riley Bloom is stuck at 12-years-old and she wants nothing more than to accomplish something great in hopes of "growing up" and finally turning 13. With her continued rule-defying attitude, she sets off on yet another adventure, this time weaving dreams for those still alive. Again, she bites off more than she can chew and this time she's all alone in getting herself out of trouble.Riley is still very childish in this book, although there are hints that she's ready to "grow up". She needed to realize there's some things she can't change and to allow herself mature and go with the flow. She's still very funny and keeps that spontaneous nature that is loveable about her.The dreamweaving concept was so unique, I just adored it! It was a fun way to put it and I think younger readers will get absorbed into the staging and filming and crew members. Noel knows how to write in such vivid detail, that its really a Dreamland, ha! :POverall, much better than the first book and along the same lines as book two. The adventure is not as constant in this book, but the reader's attention is easily grabbed by other creative and fun happenings. Definitely a book I would recommend to younger readers and/or to anyone looking for a quick read.For those who like: Fantasy, middle grade, cute storylines, the afterlifeSource: Publisher - thank you!
