From "normal" grandparents to a poet and an erratic artist. I'm curious to find out how the siblings are going to adapt to that change. Great review!

Who are the dream keepers? The grandparents? Or the other set of grandparents? Do star and Thatcher achieve their dreams? It's a young adult book no doubt. Congrats on the book of the day

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting young adult story about two orphaned siblings that grow up living with one set of grandparents and then the other set. The author manages to help the reader imagine the characters growing up and the difficulties and challenges that they are facing as they become adults. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I love it when a reviewer is touched by a book they read. Even for the sample Star sounds like a unique character. Good to know that the author incorporated current events into the storyline. I added this book to TBR. Great review.

Just the fact that the protagonists are orphans already means that the rest of their lives will probably be influenced by this. This sounds like an extraordinary book.

I can see the lives of the two siblings Star and Thatcher were not a smooth one, growing up without parents and experiencing both grandparents. However I am intrigued by Star's dreams'. Good review.

"The Dream Keepers" by Linda Keen. An interesting young adults story book, talks about Star and Thatcher the two young orphan. Star as special as she was she was able to look at the dreams and fantasies which comes to reality. This books has a lot to do with the love of family and friendship. This novel is well understood and well written. Congrats on the #BOTD.

This sounds like a wonderful story. I like too, that the characters are well developed and that the author adopted a simple writing technique. I wonder if Star’s dreams were futuristic. I also appreciate the themes of self-growth, family and friendship.
