Dreamhunter
By Elizabeth Knox
Review by Kyle Epp

Think of your favorite dream. Have you ever wondered where it is that that dream has come from? Well, get ready to venture into the ‘Place’, an area that cannot be marked on a map; a sleeping ground for all your dreams where young ‘dreamhunters’ go to catch those dreams and bring them back from the ‘Place’ for you. It is a place that only a select few may go, a place that is sacred and holds dreams of every kind – it even holds nightmares.

In Dreamhunter, two young girls, Laura and Rose, have been waiting eagerly for their ‘Try’, an event similar to a test which determines whether or not the applicants will enter the place and make their careers selling and showing dreams, in a way that is very similar to a movie. We watch as Rose and Laura prevail and fail throughout their adventures. Before long Laura and Rose are thrown into a world that they thought they knew, but the two young girls now realize that they have much to learn.

Within the ‘Place’ is a dreadful secret, one that the corrupt members of the government are trying to hide. And when Laura’s Father disappears, she realizes that this secret is very powerful, and that she must choose how to save her father, without letting this dreadful secret harm everyone that she loves.

I found this novel interesting. One that was hard to put down, however at some moments Elizabeth Knox seems to go overboard into details. However, I would give this book a four and a half out of five. It is an interesting read, likely to grab the attention of any reader looking to find an exhilarating story about a world of fantasy.
