We discuss pg.1-200 of DREAMSTRIDER by Lindsay Smith. In this fantasy novel, Livia learns the skill of dreamstriding — taking over someone’s body as they sleep — which she uses to work as a spy in service of her country. She soon uncovers a battle plans of an enemy nation intending to attack her home, but if that isn’t enough, the giant monster, Nightmare, is threatening to rise again and wreak havoc on her people. And let’s not forget her unrequited love, and constant worry that her citizenship will be revoked!
