Book Review: The Dream Stealer
Summary: 5 Stars
Gregory Maguire is one of my all-time favourite writers. The Dream Stealer is more intended for the young-adult/pre-teen audience, but I enjoyed it well quite the same.
Summary of The Dream Stealer
Once every generation or so, a great wolf called the Blood Prince, who not only devours bodies but also steals souls, stalks the northern forests of Russia. Rumor has it that he has set his sights on the forgettable little village of Miersk. The wolf's evil runs so deep that past survivors refuse to believe in him, and so it is up to the newest generation, two children named Pasha and Lisette, to save the village. But how can a young boy and girl stop such a beast? This mesmerizing tale draws on Russian folk stories about Vasilissa the Beautiful, Baba Yaga, and the Firebird and is filled with quirky details and memorable characters that could spring only from the imagination of Gregory Maguire. This new edition includes a prologue and is illustrated with striking cut-paper silhouettes.Ages 4-8 Books
