Good Book
The Dream Library by Vedang Nandan is a captivating and imaginative triumph — a rare blend of heart, mystery, and wonder that lingers long after the final page. In this richly atmospheric fantasy, twelve-year-old Elio stumbles upon a magical library that holds not just books, but the dreams of humanity itself. As a sinister force begins stealing those dreams and trapping children in comas, Elio is thrust into a high-stakes journey across surreal dreamscapes that blur the line between memory and imagination.
With echoes of Coraline and The Little Prince, Vedang crafts a world that is at once emotionally resonant and visually vivid. Elio is a relatable, vulnerable hero, and the book’s themes — grief, courage, and the importance of imagination — elevate it far beyond a typical middle-grade adventure. The pacing is swift, the world-building is lush, and the storytelling is confidently cinematic.
Absolutely magical
This book felt like curling up under a blanket on a rainy day and being whisked somewhere entirely new. It’s beautifully written, the kind of story that stays in your head even after you’ve put it down. The atmosphere is so vivid that I could almost smell the pages and hear the hush of a world just out of reach. It reminded me why I fell in love with reading in the first place.
