Dream to Me

Praise for Dream to Me:

★ “Paasch’s debut is a well-developed stand-alone novel with a compelling female protagonist and intricate plot. The supporting characters help weave a solid narrative that explores themes of grief, anger, regret, reputation, and familial legacy within a supernatural framework … A thrilling and mysterious page-turner.” –School Library Journal, starred review

“Packed with profound insights and ruminations on grief…with dignity and grace, Paasch methodically addresses the intense loneliness of grief and survivor’s guilt via Eva’s careful exploration of her budding supernatural powers and her tender developing relationships, wrapping it in an intriguing mystery tinged with horror and romance.” –Publishers Weekly

“A compelling combination of gothic YA fiction and psychological thriller… Paasch clearly understands grief, guilt, and what moves the teenage heart.” –Horn Book Magazine

“Nuanced and complicated and emotional …there’s a fine twist or two in this novel, and Eva is a downright delightful crime-solver - relentless and determined and fearless until the end. I relished every page.” –Locus

“Haunting, surreal, and laced with delightful Lynchian shades of Twin Peaks, Dream to Me is an absolute powerhouse of a debut in which Paasch weaves a poignant, shimmering portrait of familial trauma, grief, and the hopeful promise of new love.” –Julia Lynn Rubin, author of Trouble Girls

”“A fresh debut packed with lush atmosphere, plenty of chills and twists, and characters to root for. Dream to Me delivers!” –Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times-bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow

“Dream to Me sets a realistic portrayal of living with grief against an atmospheric backdrop that illuminates the power of our internal thoughts and the journey of self-forgiveness. An enchanting read.” –Joan F. Smith, author of The Half-Orphan’s Handbook

“Dream to Me is an enchanting and ensnaring gift from a fresh voice in YA. Equal parts grief and magic, Paasch’s writing will cradle you close, leaving you both hurt and healed.” –Courtney Gould, author of The Dead and the Dark

“Fans of swoony-spooky fantasy rejoice! Paasch’s debut is one of those engaging books that sinks its teeth into readers before they have a chance to run. With shadowy small-town lore, secret family history, and the poignant explorations of grief mixed with the mysteries of Eva’s emerging powers, Dream to Me proves that the best kind of dreaming happens when you’re awake.” –Ashely Schumacher, author of Amelia Unabridged and Full Flight

“Though eerie in tone, the book weaves together the magical realm with the characters’ grief and guilt, adding nuance to the suspenseful story…a haunting and healing journey.” –Kirkus

“Paasch’s debut brings refreshing originality to a familiar horror premise…The dream magic itself is twisty and creepy, exactly as dream magic should be, and the mystery of Miriam’s past and Eva’s magic unfolds at the perfect pace to give readers time to get to know the town’s inner workings before devastating plot twists. The backdrop of eerie woods, the dream magic, and the fluid prose make this novel a solid read for Maggie Stiefvater fans.” –BCCB
