Additional Gossamer Information
|
Littlest One is a tiny creature slowly learning her job of giving dreams to humans. Each night she and her teacher, Thin Elderly, visit an old woman’s home where she softly touches beloved objects, gathering happy memories, and drops of old scents and sounds. Littlest One pieces these bits together and presents them to her sleeping human in the form of pleasant dreams. But the dreaded Sinisteeds, dark fearsome creatures that plague their victims with nightmares, are always at work against the dreamgivers. When the old woman takes in John, an angry foster child with a troubled past, the Sinisteeds go after him with their horrifying nightmares. Can Littlest One, and her touch light as gossamer, protect John’s heart and soul from the nightmare of his dark past?

What Customers Say About Gossamer:

I read this book because I really enjoyed reading The Giver and Number the Stars. These are two books I've considered re-reading since I am now young professional age.Gossamer is a cute story about a new dream-giver that shows curiosity and excitement over everything that is new to her--which is everything. She is young and full of innocence but at the same time a wise young.thing.John is a troubled boy who is inflicted with nightmares and is Littlest One's first assignment.These 2 stories are pulled together through the chapters of the book that are actively about him, and through Littlest and what she sees when she touches his belongings to gather information and memories to incorporate in the dreams she gives John.I really enjoyed this book and read it really fast(it's short), however felt a little bit of a hanger at the end leaving me wanting to know more. I'll leave it at that so I don't spoil anything.
i mean why does john have to be mean to the dog. uselly lowery's book are great. i downloaded this on my kindle, and i am sorry i did. and why do the nightmare thingys have to be in the shape of horses. i loved 'the giver' but this book was so hard to get through. i had to make my kindle read it to me. i love horses, but now when ever i see one i think of nightmares. so to cut to the chase you would be out of your mind to buy this book.
Lois Lowry never disappoints. This charming little book is a pure delight. The story is a lovely fantasy that one wishes were true.
i really enjoyed lois lewry's The Giver so i wanted to give her other books a gander. i tried this one first; the reviews were promising. i finished it in a couple of days and genuinely enjoyed it. Gossamer is a simple but captivating read that will water your eyes, warm your heart, and stir your mind.
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. If you love or hate reading you will love this. Unless you have a loving book boy I would not recommend this for boys, this is definitely a girl book.
