James Rhyder and the Cave of Dreams

De: David S. Brooks

Narrado por: Alexander Keys

Twelve-year-old James Rhyder is being hunted by people from a hidden world of magic. Unlike most people his age, James doesn’t dream at night of becoming a hero. Rather, his dreams are filled with shadowy figures and cryptic warnings about the end of the world.

As these strange dreams begin to make James question if he’s going crazy like his mother, a quirky girl named Rheyna Anwen whisks him away into an unseen world where psychics, druids, and magic are real.

James Rhyder and the Cave of Dreams is the first audiobook in the Unseen World series. A wonderfully magical fantasy full of adventure, action, magic, and some mystery for all ages: children, teens and adults. Your adventure into the world of Psions begins here!

The king of description does it again.

I read this book years ago, and really enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised when the audio book came out because that meant I got to experience the world of James Rhyder all over again.

A recap with some spoilers:
James is one of those bookish kids who is a loner but his world changes when he finds a mysterious girl who hands him a special book. He finds himself attending a school to help him develop his hidden powers (skill?) and along the way he makes some friends and some rivals.
There is an exciting twist near the end that rounds out the story nicely.

The thing I wanted to touch on-and the reason I love David's books-is his ability to weave imagery into his scenes. You really do feel like you are in the world and it leaves lasting impressions on you. Plus it's just great entertainment for the whole family.
