I've already sung praises for Lois Lowry. And here I go again. Gossamer is an interesting little book. It's a juvenile fiction book that is great for middle-upper elementary school age kids (and apparently adults as well). It is well written for what it is and highly creative.
The main players are dream givers. A young one is being trained in the art of giving dreams to humans. It has some heavy details of a fathers' abuse in it, so beware. If you let your 8-9 year old read it, they need to know themselves well, have a strong sense of justice, and not be persuaded by other ideas.
