Where do
dreams come from? What stealthy nighttime messengers are the guardians of our
most deeply hidden hopes and our half-forgotten fears?
Curious,
unconventional Littlest One is a dream giver, an ethereal spirit who
""bestows"" dreams on humans by touching items that contain
pleasant memories like toys, photographs, shells and other personal objects,
gathering these "fragments," and wafting them gently into sleepers'
ears. Littlest One is apprenticed to
Thin Elderly, whose dream-giving territory is a house belonging to a lonely but
loving old woman who is fostering an angry, emotionally scarred eight-year-old
boy. When a horde of Sinisteens, dream givers who've gone over to the dark
side, bring the boy terrifying nightmares, Littlest One fights back with
healing fragments of the boy's triumphant at-bat in a baseball game, his
attachment to the old woman's dog, and the comfort of his favorite stuffed
animal.
But will
Littlest One be able to keep the Sinisteeds away?
