Books Monthly – The Dream Dealer is Children’s Book of the Month, March 2013

Books Monthly have voted The Dream Dealer their Children’s Book of the Month for March 2013

“This is a real gem – it crashes straight in to Finn’s life at home, with real, believable conflict between him and his father, then at school, where he’s the butt of everyone’s jokes, treated like a leper, bullied and set upon. But somewhere else, there’s a Dream Dealer who might latch onto Finn’s distress and make some changes in his life… Superbly crafted, with accurate teenaged dialogue and angsts, pinpoint descriptions of useless teachers (my two younger children will vouch for this – they do exist and they shouldn’t be teaching), pinpoint descriptions of teens bullying teens (same again) and a plot that has you hooked right from page one. This is a brilliant read, adults will love it as much as the 8-13 year-olds it’s intended for. Marita has a real winner here, no hesitation in choosing it as my children’s book of the month! Superb.”
