Dream Seeker Series by Lisa Ard Reviews

Dream Seeker Adventure series

The Dream Seeker Adventure series is a collection of chapter books, ideal for ages 7-10. In this fantasy series, readers are introduced to Patrick and his dream-seeking family. Patrick is twelve years old and at the age when he's experiencing a lot of change, both physically and emotionally. Most of that change is out of his control, but how he reacts to that change is important. Patrick's family and best friends are important to his adventures too. When life and dreams seem out of control, Patrick knows he is not alone.

Fright Flight 
Dream Seekers Book One

For Patrick, being twelve years old can be challenging. Add to that the unusual ability to experience dreams as reality and you begin to understand Patrick's need for a little self-control. A "sweet" dream devouring the world's largest ice cream sundae can end with an enormous stomachache. A fall from a bike means Patrick wakes with a broken arm. Try explaining that to the emergency room doctor. Oh wait -- that would be Patrick's mom. She's a dream seeker too, as are Patrick's sister and brother. If Patrick follows the family's dream-seeking rules he can have cool nighttime adventures. But if he forgets....

My Review:

This was an interesting read for me, even though it is a kids books. Dreams have always intrigued me, and this series also adds adventure and family values. I liked that Patrick's mom met Patrick in his dreams and gave him reassurances. I also liked that the family ate dinner together at night. The plot was fun and I can not wait to read more from this series. It was a fast read for me, and my nephew also liked it. He wants to dream of being a train conductor! I am giving this book a 5/5.

My Review:

I was excited to read this book, especially since I liked the first book so much. I am not really a sports fan, but I still liked this book. I think that I liked it more. This time Patrick is upset about giving an oral presentation at school. He is unsure of himself, and his family helps him realize that if he believes in himself then he can do anything. Will he realize his true potential in time to have the greatest dream of his life? Who is the mystery person he needs to meet? I have book 3 on my waiting list! Lisa also has activities on her website that I did with the kiddos and they loved them!

I am giving this book a 5/5. Deal Sharing Aunt~ from The Kindle Book Review

About Lisa Ard
Writing is an adventure for me. It's been a long and winding journey to authoring children's books. Here's some of that journey's highlights:

• I grew up in Wenatchee, Washington. Better look it up on the map, because it's the Apple Capital of the World!
• As a kid I played lots of sports, enjoyed art and photography, read lots of books (still do) and dreamed of traveling the world. 
• I left home to study at the University of Washington where I earned my B.A. in German. (And yes, my dad asked me "what are you going to do with a degree in German?")
• After a couple years living and working in Seattle, I went back to school. Now, you may be asking why I signed up for MORE school. Actually I've always thought school was pretty fun. I found a really cool school that let me work overseas. I got my Masters in International Business from the University of South Carolina and worked in Germany.
• For the next 15 years, I worked in Finance and Quality departments for some really big companies. In other words, I went to lots of meetings, talked on the phone, traveled all over the country and sat in a cubicle for a lot of that time.
• Then I fell in love, got married and had two wonderful kids. We now live happily ever after in Portland, Oregon.

That's the story so far. I'm on the author journey. How long that will last, I don't know. However, I'm ready to enjoy the adventure.
