Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Grace

When Caitlin's sister runs away, her parents are devasted and keep hoping for her to return. Caitlin tries to fill in Cass's gap by not following in her footsteps. When she meets Rogerson, she becomes hynotized by his mysteriousness. He smokes pot and knows the answer to any trivia question Caitlin asks him. But when Rogerson starts to hit her, and no one notices, Caitlin doesn't tell anyone and doesn't leave him. She never knows if he will be in a bad mood. Will anyone notice before it's too late?

Dreamland is a haunting story about a girl who is abused. I don't really understand why Caitlin didn't leave Rogerson. How could someone love a person who abused them? This is a sad but good book that everyone can learn from.
