all about mystery, my new favourite book

I really enjoyed this book. It was very long and at times a bit boring. Although it did have a good story.

I liked this book because it sounded quite good, but I gave it a 4 star rating because the first few chapters made no sense, like they started in the middle of the story. Another reason is the dreams were stange and I didn't understand the language in them. Overall though, it was an amazing plot for a book. My favourite character was Rachel Klein.

I liked the book because it said in the book that a girl called Rachel and a boy called Robert had a dad that stole a book called The book of stolen dreams. Rachel and Robert and their mother had to run away because the police came and arrested their dad. Soon after that their mother died because of a terrible illness and people wanted to take the kids to an orphanage so the kids had to split up. Robert had to protect The book of stolen dreams while Rachel had to go to the orphanage and learn the book's secrets. My favourite person in the book was Rachel because she went to the land of the dead like the book.

It was good. I’f recommend it to my friend Darlene because she likes to day dream a lot. My favourite character was Rachel because she was able to keep her temper in the orphanage.

I loved this book and it always kept me on the edge of my seat. There was lots of suspense so I always had this book in my hand.
