Book #6 in 2014
Gossamer
by Lois Lowry
"Where do dreams come
from? What stealthy nighttime messengers are the guardians of our most
deeply hidden hopes and our half-forgotten fears? Drawing on her rich
imagination, two-time Newbery winner Lois Lowry confronts these
questions and explores the conflicts between the gentle bits and pieces
of the past that come to life in dream, and the darker horrors that find
their form in nightmare. In a haunting story that tiptoes between
reality and imagination, two people—a lonely, sensitive woman and a
damaged, angry boy—face their own histories and discover what they can
be to one another, renewed by the strength that comes from a tiny,
caring creature they will never see."
