Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the intense weight of family expectations or struggling with a sense of 'otherness' that they cannot quite put into words. While the story is wrapped in a high stakes supernatural mystery, it serves as a profound exploration of how we define ourselves apart from our parents and the fierce, found-family loyalty that sustains us during the transition to adulthood. The Dream Thieves follows Ronan Lynch, a fiercely guarded young man who can pull physical objects from his dreams, as he navigates the dangerous consequences of his power and a mysterious hitman tracking his family secrets. It is an atmospheric, literary choice for older teens (14+) who appreciate complex character studies and stories that honor the intensity of adolescent friendships. Parents might choose this to open a dialogue about the masks we wear to protect our vulnerabilities and the importance of finding a community where one can be fully known.
