Dreamland by Robert L. Anderson is a novel about Odea “Dea” Donahue, who has been able to travel through people’s dreams since she was six years old. Her mother taught her three rules of walking, and the story is about the fine line between dreams and reality. This page is the book’s summary plus a first reaction to the cover, not a full review.
The three rules of walking
- Never interfere.
- Never be seen.
- Never walk the same person’s dream more than once.
Those are the rules from the book’s own description, which is quoted below. The publisher compares the book to Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle.
The book’s description
I love this cover, which reminds me of the movie poster for Upside Down. Dreamland by Robert Anderson is about a girl who can walk through other people’s dreams. She’s not supposed to stick around to get involved, but she does. Full review as soon as I get a copy, here’s the summary.
From immensely talented debut author Robert L. Anderson comes a stunning, complex, and imaginative story about the fine line between dreams and reality that will appeal to fans of Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle.
Odea Donahue has been able to travel through people’s dreams since she was six years old. Her mother taught her the three rules of walking: Never interfere. Never be seen. Never walk the same person’s dream more than once. Dea has never broken the rules.
