Unless you have a loving book boy I would not recommend this for boys, this is definitely a girl book. If you love or hate reading you will love this. I'm 11 and absolutely LOVE Lois Lowry. This book is a great book for kids and adults it has a fairly easy vocabulary and a deeper concept.
This book is very short, barely even a novella, but engaging and enriching to read.I listened to Gossamer unabridged on audio CD narrated by Anne Twomey. Gossamer is highly original. She is a narrator to look for when selecting audio books. She is wonderful, with a soft gossamer-like voice that is both gentle and edgy when it needs to be. The protagonists - ephemeral dream-givers - are like no other creatures I've encountered. Their engagement with humans and the rules of their world are fascinating and enchanting.The story itself is delightful, filled with mystery, compassion and delight.
Cost more than the book. Watch the shipping. :( Great book. Every kid should read it.
In telling her story, though, 'Gossamer' weaves in the stories of other characters skillfully and subtly, so you learn how the work of the dream-givers affects the waking world, and also how the dream-givers' polar opposites -- the Sinisteeds, violent and terrible givers of nightmare -- make their own mark.My daughter recommended 'Gossamer' to me, and that recommendation was echoed by a friend who has similar taste in books. There's something to be said about a book that's 140 pages long, that you can read in an hour.but you can't seem to get out of your head for the rest of the day.'Gossamer' is one of those stories. For that hour, you'll be treated to a magical story that will hold you in its soft hands for a long time after you close the book.Enjoy the trip. It may be a novel intended for a younger audience, but its worth reading for anyone who can set aside their own reality for an hour or so and enter the world of the givers of dreams. Elegant, simple, straightforward, and yet somehow magical. In one sense, it is the story of a young 'dream-giver' who is just learning her craft, how to draw good dreams from the sleeping world and give them to the dreamers as they slumber.
Gossamer is about a little boy named Jon who gets bad dreams. Then the dream givers give him a dream about the dog. it's up to the dream givers to give good dreams. To give people good dreams the dream givers have to touch something good in the person's life.
It is an awesome book to read. I like this book because it is fun to read and makes me think a lot. I also think what if I have nightmares for a reason. Sometimes the book is weird. Lois Lowry has great books. So.
It makes mo think I wonder if there is such a thing as dream givers. But other then that it's a great book.JR Littlest it in training to give people good dreams. Jon starts to like a dog.
