The Dream Travelers: From the Beginning by Cindi Elli revolves around Erin, Richard and Marie who discover a strange, big old book where they read the instructions to complete the lessons in the order given. The instructions take them on an adventurous trip and, at the end of their dream journey, readers will see them possessing unique skills and knowledge. Cannistra the dream-traveling wizard sends them on an adventurous trip where they learn many difficult lessons of life. As they put these lessons into practice in their daily lives, they change in a positive way. This dream adventure also sees the wizard taking the forms of many important people in history, which enables these three kids to learn from their wisdom and apply it in their lives.
The plot is unique and original and I like how the author brings in great people from history to share their knowledge and experiences with readers. This time travel story sees a good blend of reality and fantasy, and readers will enjoy the fun characters and adventures in the plot as the story progresses. The author's writing style is fluid and elegant and that gives good pace and movement to the story. It's a book that will capture the imagination of young and older readers alike with its dreamy feel, creativity and imagination. The book is entertaining and engaging from the beginning and will keep readers glued to the pages till the very end.
