About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling like an outsider or struggling to reconcile their rich inner fantasy life with the demands of the real world. This urban fantasy explores the journey of sixteen-year-old Iris, who discovers her heritage is tied to the Greek god of dreams, forcing her to confront nightmares that have begun to bleed into her waking life. It is an atmospheric choice for teens who enjoy mythology and sweeping romance. While the story offers a compelling metaphor for the intensity of adolescent emotions and the search for identity, parents should be aware that it contains mature elements, including profanity and sexual references suitable for a high school audience. It serves as a great bridge for discussing how we face our fears and the importance of finding a sense of belonging when we feel fundamentally different from those around us.
