Introducing Dream Worlds [ and Open Systems ], Ellen’s upcoming debut novel.
Based on some of her own dreams and habit of metaphysical thinking, the story follows a girl and her adventures during the summer months of her first year in town. Written ostensibly for teens, its appeal extends to middle grade readers and young adults of all ages.
Her dreams were troubling her, but that wasn’t half of what she had in store. Jan finally found the courage to enter the forest, but what she encountered was far more than she had bargained for.
