Marianne Dreams
Marianne Dreams | Catherine Storr
2 posts | 8 read | 6 to read
A powerful and haunting classic about a girl haunted by her own dreams. Ill and bored with having to stay in bed, Marianne picks up a pencil and starts doodling - a house, a garden, a boy at the window. That night she has an extraordinary dream. She is transported into her own picture, and as she explores further she soon realises she is not alone. The boy at the window is called Mark, and his every movement is guarded by the menacing stone watchers that surround the solitary house. Together, in their dreams, Marianne and Mark must save themselves... The perfect gift for girls aged 8+, this well-loved classic will delight a new generation of readers of the Faber Children's Classics list.

This is a book that gripped me as a middle grade reader and it‘s premise is still a bit eerie. Marianne is bedridden with a long term illness. She draws to pass the time. One night she dreams she is in the house she has drawn and over successive nights she is trying to fix things in her dreams by adding or deleting things from her drawing. Does anyone else remember reading it? I just bought a copy for my 7yo

Centique What she draws in the daytime is #becausethenight so it fits right? 😉 7y
Cinfhen Not familiar but sounds really good 😊 7y
