Dream Storm is the eleventh book in the Remnants series written by the author of Animorphs (which I find amusing, given my firm declaration earlier that I would not be subjecting myself to reading Animorphs). This is one of the books I pulled from the library's children section.
Remnants takes place in the aftermath of the Earth's destruction by an asteroid, commonly called The Rock. Dream Storm follows a group of seven survivors who were apparently placed on a hibernation shuttle to escape the cataclysm. There are more survivors, but it seems they left them stranded on a now barren Earth.
The book seems to fit 3rd/4th grade readers. They're not going to encounter amazing vocabulary or complex tale telling, but they'll get a serial adventure. It has a cliffhanger ending which probably works well to hook the kids. It also seems to have a good mix of good, bad and inbetween characters.
Favorite Quotes:
None found.
Overall Opinion:
If my kids ask, I'll tell them to give it a shot. I don't know if I'll go out of my way to recommend it though.
Rating:
Me: 2 Young Kids: Probably higher on their scale
