This was a novel based on describing a situation and expanding on it, rather than weaving an exciting story with the situation as its foundation. There were plenty of possibilities for a breathtaking plot and a dramatic ending, but all that really occurred to me was how Littlest One was maturing while she aged as a dream-giver and how she would eventually teach younger pupils to bestow dreams.Of course, I felt happy for Littlest, having achieved so much over the course of the novel, but the lack of action and adventure was disappointing.Nevertheless, the Lois Lowry uses beautiful, descriptive language that was perhaps the only source of motivation for me to continue reading, coupled with her imagination.I would recommend this book for those who would like to read a book that is unique in its own right, but otherwise, I only found Gossamer to be satisfactory.   hide
