The Dreamer

BY PAM MUNOZ, PETER SIS

Brief Description:
From the time he is a young boy, Neftall hears the call of a mysterious voice. Even when the neighborhood children taunt him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him, and when he doubts himself, Neftall knows he cannot ignore the call. Under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain, he listens and he follows. Combining elements of magical realism with biography, poetry, literary fiction, and sensorial, transporting illustrations, Pam Muroz Ryan and Peter Sis take readers on a rare journey of the heart and imagination. Ages 9-12
