Reason for Reading: This is from the random bookshelf that I am currently reading from for my own books and random bookshelf challenge I created for myself. William Sleator is my favourite YA horror writer.
I thought I'd read this one before but could not recall the story at all while reading it and now don't believe I have. This book is atypical of the usual Sleator book. It is written for a younger audience, not his usual teen audience. The two protagonists are twelve and the writing is simple, probably on about a Gr. 4 level. I wasn't duly impressed with the story either which was disappointing as it has been a while since I've read a Sleator and I was looking forward to this quite a bit. Keeping in mind the book is for younger children, the plot is quite simple and the story follows a normal increasing plotline with lots of forward motion and excitement. The story is one whole run towards the end. It does, however, end with Sleator's trademark that's not really the end-ending, what I like to call the Twilight Zone ending. As long as the reader is not too sensitive the youngster will have fun with the story which involves esp, UFOs, telepathy, telekinesis and men in black. No where near Sleator's best but a suitable introduction to the author for pre-teens.

How weird
I would give into the dream 4 stars.
It's about a boy named Paul that never pays a tension in class that a girl named Francine that has a lot of friends to hang around with. They both are from different parts of the same town. Having the same dream. The dream is about this little boy who is following this light. The little boy is named Noah. Paul and Francine have to find out who the boy is and what is following him. Paul and Francine go through a whole lot of things to go through before the end of the book.
Paul and Noah the little boy in the dream are running a way from two who they think are bad people. Paul, Francine. Noah, and cookie the family dog are all telepathic. So they can read each other's thoughts. That's how they all communicate. Because Noah can't speak. Paul and Noah are on the Ferris wheel. When all of a sudden the cart poll broke off and they are hanging crooked but that is all I'm saying because you should read this book to find what really happens. It's exiting, sad, confusing, and a little funny, and a lot of helpers too. A lot of color, and pictures, but that are my thoughts. There are a lot of problems that Francine and Paul have. they both get in trouble. So watch out for this magical book in your school library or bookstore. Maybe there will be a sequel. By Valerie .
