    When Lily wakes in the dead of night with fire shooting from her fingertips, she thinks she must be dreaming. But Lily, along with twins Felix and Serena, is trapped in the dreamscape: a magical realm, in which 'dreamon' monsters from people's nightmares are real and deadly. The friends discover that a mysterious new computer game called Colony is linked to the dreamscape, and it's causing the players, including their younger brothers, to become possessed by dreamons. Can Lily and the twins infiltrate the secretive Colony cult to save their brothers? Or will they be dragged into the very game they seek to destroy, and forced to face monsters more cunning and evil than they could ever imagine?

    “What would the world look like if girls grew up reading fairytales made from the magic they carry inside themselves? Breathtakingly beautiful, is what.” —Lidia Yuknavich, national bestselling author   In her debut children’s book, Rebecca Solnit reimagines a classic fairytale with a fresh, feminist Cinderella and new plot twists that will inspire young readers to change the world, featuring gorgeous silhouettes from Arthur Rackham on each page.   In this modern twist on the classic story, Cinderella, who would rather just be Ella, meets her fairy godmother, goes to a ball, and makes friends with a prince. But that is where the familiar story ends. Instead of waiting to be rescued, Cinderella learns that she can save herself and those around her by being true to herself and standing up for what she believes.   “Being a princess is absolutely fine if that’s what you choose. It’s having those choices taken away from you that make for big problems. Cinderella in Solnit’s book is given that choice. She’s allowed to say what her dreams are, and then she goes out and attains them. And they’re not huge ridiculous dreams but small, happy, manageable ones. Ultimately, that’s the gift Ms. Solnit is giving kids with this book.” —School Library Journal   “This is a reminder of hope and possibility, of kindness and compassion, and—perhaps most salient—imagination and liberty. Through the imaginations of our childhoods, can we find our true selves liberated in adulthood?” —Chelsea Handler “This is, hands down, a wonderful book—one that even the jaded reader will clasp upon completion with a contented sigh.” —The New York Times
