Serendipity And The Dream Catcher: A Book Review
By Alyice Edrich
Serendipity And The Dream Catcher
By Gwyn English Nielsen
CGS Press
Gwyn English Nielsen is a master storyteller! I found Serendipity And
The Dream Catcher to be one of the best young reader's books I've
read this year. Not only does she captivate the minds of young
readers, but she captivates the minds of adults as well.
Serendipity is a young girl filled with nightmares. But once she
receives her very own dream catcher, her nightmares turn into
adventures and those adventures help Serendipity face real life
problems head on.
I found Gwyn's technique of implementing the use of a dictionary as
part of the story to be a remarkable way to encourage children to
enhance their use of the English language by looking up words they're
stuck on. This book not only entertains, but it's educational and
inspiring.
On a side note, my 9-year-old-daughter, MyKaela, was really into this
book. It kept her attention, had her envisioning each scene, and as
soon as the dreams began, MyKaela was up and re-enacting the dreams
as her mother told the story.
