A girl’s scary dream may come true in this “fast moving” story starring “a likable and believable heroine” (School Library Journal). Meg’s nightmare about a thin, gray-haired man who beckons her to follow him through a dark doorway will no doubt come true. That’s the way it is with all of her “real” dreams, the ones that her grandmother calls “a secret window into the future.” Meg suspects that her dream is about sixteen-year-old Caleb Larsen’s father, who died in a car crash after allegedly stealing $50,000 from a local bank. Could Mr. Larsen be trying to reach Caleb and his mother through Meg’s dreams? Is he trying to reveal the truth about what happened? As Meg’s nightmare begins to come true, she learns to cope with her own past as well as Caleb’s, and to see the present in a different, more positive light.Show book
The final Fever Crumb adventure from the author of Mortal Engines. “For die-hard fans of science fiction, it doesn’t get much better.” —School Library Journal The Scriven people are brilliant, mad—and dead. All except one, whose monstrous creation is nearly complete: a giant city on wheels. New London terrifies the rest of the world, and an army of mammoth-riders gathers to fight it. Meanwhile, young Fever Crumb begins a hunt for Ancient technology in the icy strongholds of the north. She finds a mysterious black pyramid full of secrets. It will change her world forever. Scrivener’s Moon follows Fever Crumb and A Web of Air to complete one of the most exciting and inventive fantasy adventures series ever written. “The rich worldbuilding continues to hold surprises, and the writing never falters . . . Quiet and somber, but still deeply satisfying.” —Kirkus Reviews “Characterization is deep and revelatory; themes are rich and seamlessly interwoven; and the plot is complex and packed with propulsive action.” —The Horn BookShow book
