When daydreamer Adi is placed in foster care after being separated from her dying Gran, even the music she sees written in the sky and her new smarty-pants friend Rupe can’t keep her grief away. Nightmares peel off her bedroom walls and materialize, and Shadows pursue her.

Once Adi and Rupe are chased into the magical kingdom of Dream Miners, where miners unearth dreams in the form of gems, Adi welcomes the escape. She feels at home, like she’s stepped into one of Gran’s stories.

But Shadows taint the jeweled gardens blanketing the forest kingdom. Left unchecked, they are growing into a Darkness that will turn dreams into nightmares for children everywhere – unless Adi taps into her unpolished musical talent to stop it.

In a world filled with music, star lore, and Shadow monsters, Adi must decide. Will she risk her own memories to protect the dreams of others?

I went into this book thinking that it was going to be a good read, even thought it is a middle grade book. I couldn’t connect with the characters and they seemed to be younger than they actually were.
I wanted to DNF this, but I decided that I wanted to see how it was going to end and it was disappointing as well. I also had a hard time understand what was even happening half the time. I didn’t want to write a review because I know its going to sound harsh, but I wanted to make one to let you all know my experience with it.
