Science says that our brain lets us dream to process reality and our day-to-day life. Apart from normal dreams, daydreams, and nightmares, we define multiple types of dreams. Some more memorable than others. Then, there are also those types of dreams that wakes you up with a start, heart racing, chest heaving, bathed in sweat and the sheets stuck to your skin. The dream's images seared into the surface of your brain, etched into your very soul. Have you ever thought that your brain could never be responsible for such a dream? Alice learns firsthand that those dreams can have a grave impact on the body of the dreamer. In an attempt to stop a group of people from hurting others, she learns not only how to lucid dream, but how to go a step further. Have you ever thought that one of your dreams does not feel like your own?

A young dream walker must save the world from certain destruction one dream at a time, in this riveting debut from Kit Alloway, an exciting new talent in young adult fiction. Unlike most 17-year-olds, Joshlyn Weaver has a sacred duty. She's the celebrated daughter of the dream walkers, a secret society whose members enter the Dream universe we all share and battle nightmares. If they fail, the emotional turmoil in the Dream could boil over and release nightmares into the World. Despite Josh's reputation as a dream walking prodigy, she's haunted by her mistakes. A lapse in judgment and the death of someone she loved have shaken her confidence. Now she's been assigned an apprentice, a boy whose steady gaze sees right through her, and she's almost as afraid of getting close to him as she is of getting him killed. But when strangers with impossible powers begin appearing in the Dream, it isn't just Will that Josh has to protect--it's the whole World.

From Hurston/Wright Legacy Award-winning author Rita Woods, The Last Dreamwalker tells the story of two women, separated by nearly two centuries yet inextricably linked by the Gullah-Geechee Islands off the coast of South Carolina—and their connection to a mysterious and extraordinary gift passed from generation to generation. In the wake of her mother's passing, Layla Hurley unexpectedly reconnects with her mother's sisters, women she hasn't been allowed to speak to, or of, in years. Her aunts reveal to Layla that a Gullah-Geechee island off the shore of South Carolina now belongs to her. As Layla digs deeper into her mother’s past and the mysterious island’s history, she discovers that the terrifying nightmares that have plagued her throughout her life and tainted her relationship with her mother and all of her family, is actually a power passed down through generations of her Gullah ancestors. She is a Dreamwalker, able to inhabit the dreams of others—and to manipulate them. As Layla uncovers increasingly dark secrets about her family's past, she finds herself thrust into the center of a potentially deadly, decades-old feud fought in the dark corridor of dreams. The Last Dreamwalker is a gripping, contemporary read about power and agency; family and legacy; and the ways trauma, secrets, and magic take shape across generations.

"Mein Herz schreit Halleluja, während mein Kopf bereits eifrig und zustimmend nickt, vielleicht etwas zu heftig. Lukas kichert belustigt, bevor seine warmen und feuchten Lippen die meine berühren. Und alles, was ich in diesem Augenblick denken kann, ist: Noch nie hat Salzwasser so gut geschmeckt." Ellie - 'Salty Kisses' "Nur zu gern erwidere ich ihr Lachen und berühre zärtlich ihre Wange.
