I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

Cooper (The Dead Sea Scrolls, p. 552, etc.) combines just the right amount of romance and mystery in this satisfying suspense story. Karen, 16, meets her dream guy—literally—at the bus stop. She's been dreaming about Mark and his younger brother, Brian, and knows it means trouble: She dreamed about her father's fatal car crash before it happened. Can she save Mark and Brian from disaster? Readers will feel comfortable with the characters—they are easy to relate to and realistic—and the points where Karen's dreams and real life overlap never seem contrived. A smooth, easy read, with a spooky atmosphere and a few surprising plot twists to keep it fresh. (Fiction. 8-12)
