The Dream Weaver's Daughter - Tapa blanda

The Dream Weavers Daughter is an allegorical fantasy that follows a young girl named Suena on a Dream Quest of self-discovery. Only by successfully completing the quest will she be able to succeed her father as Dream Weaver and be the first female ever to do so. Her evil cousin Coveto and the spirit of his dead father, Malevo, throw obstacles in her way which she must overcome while following the Weaver's Creed: "Whenever you help someone else, in the end, you help yourself." It is intended for middle school readers but is a very layered story that will involve readers of all ages. Because of its liberal use of similes, metaphors, alliterations, and other writing conventions, The Dream Weaver's Daughter can be useful as a teaching tool for educators.
