The Book of Stolen Dreams by David Farr
4.0
This debut children’s novel from a very well known film, TV and theatre writer was a wonderful delight from start to finish. 10/10 to the designers and illustrators who created its gorgeous look and feel and well done to David Farr for a thoroughly engaging story with enough twists and turns to keep even the most fidgety kid glued to the pages! I’m glad there is another book about the two main characters, Rachel and Robert, to come because if I had any complaints it would be that I wanted to spend more time with them!
Without giving too much away I did find it odd that a great part the climax of the story is told via a news source rather than through the character’s eyes but I think that will appeal to children who are used to reading short snippets of ‘news’ these days thanks to their devices!
