Fated

2012

by Alyson Noel

Until now, he's existed only in her dreams - but fate is about to bring them together. I shove through the crowd, knocking into girls and bouncing off boys, until one in particular catches me, steadies me. I feel so secure, so at home in his arms. I melt against his chest - lift my gaze to meet his. Gasping when I stare into a pair of icy blue eyes banded by brilliant flecks of gold that shine like kaleidoscopes, reflecting my image thousands of times. The boy from my dream. The one who died in my arms.

Strange things are happening to Daire Santos. Crows mock her, glowing people stalk her, time stops without warning, and a beautiful boy with unearthly blue eyes haunts all her dreams. Fearing for her daughter’s sanity, Daire’s mother sends her to live with the grandmother she’s never met. A woman who recognizes the visions for what they truly are - the call to her destiny as a Soul Seeker - one who can navigate the worlds between the living and dead.

There on the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico, Daire sets out to harness her mystical powers. But it’s when she meets Dace, the boy from her dreams, that her whole world is shaken to its core. Now Daire is forced to discover if Dace is the one guy she's meant to be with...or if he’s allied with the enemy she's destined to destroy.

Crossroads

Distraught at the loss of her friend, Claudia's dreams become tumultuous, and through them she mysteriously travels to another world called Crossroads.

Now that she's been there, fallen and demons are after her, suspecting she must be special, and it is up to Michael and the other nephilim to protect her. Her dream becomes a nightmare as more secrets are revealed about who she really is, and the true identities of the people she loves most.

Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream

2004

by H.G. Bissinger

Return once again to the enduring account of life in the Mojo lane, to the Permian Panthers of Odessa — the winningest high school football team in Texas history. Odessa is not known to be a town big on dreams, but the Panthers help keep the hopes and dreams of this small, dusty town going.

Socially and racially divided, its fragile economy follows the treacherous boom-bust path of the oil business. In bad times, the unemployment rate barrels out of control; in good times, its murder rate skyrockets. But every Friday night from September to December, when the Permian High School Panthers play football, this West Texas town becomes a place where dreams can come true.

With frankness and compassion, Bissinger chronicles one of the Panthers' dramatic seasons and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires—and sometimes shatters—the teenagers who wear the Panthers' uniforms.

La resistencia

En sus sueños había vislumbrado un mundo de soles y astros desconocidos: de cielos rojos y serpientes aladas que surcaban amenazantes y majestuosas el infinito. Pesadillas y fobias recurrentes que en nada habían mermado la capacidad de Jack para desarrollar la personalidad de un adolescente normal, hijo único de una sana, unida y cariñosa familia danesa. Hasta el traumático día del asesinato de sus padres, cuando su universo onírico comenzaría a cobrar visos de inquietante realidad.

Of Mice and Men

2001

by John Steinbeck

Of Mice and Men is a poignant narrative that captures the journey of two outsiders, George and his intellectually disabled friend Lennie, as they cling to the hope of carving out a place for themselves in a world that often seems heartless.

Their aspirations are threatened by the harsh realities they face, including cruelty, misunderstanding, and envy. Lennie, a man of immense physical strength yet gentle at heart, becomes entangled in a series of events that test the limits of their friendship and the fragility of their dreams. Steinbeck's narrative weaves themes of camaraderie, the pursuit of shared goals, and the plight of America's marginalized individuals into a story that continues to resonate with readers across generations.

Birdy

1992

by William Wharton

Birdy is an inventive, hypnotic novel that explores the intricacies of friendship and the depths of human dreams. Set against the backdrop of World War II, it tells the story of two friends with contrasting personalities.

Al is a bold, hot-tempered boy whose goals in life are to lift weights and pick up girls. In contrast, his strange friend Birdy is a skinny, tongue-tied, perhaps genius who dreams of raising canaries and flying. Their friendship is tested in the brutal reality of war, where dreams become all too real, and their lives are changed forever.

In Birdy, William Wharton crafts an unforgettable tale that suggests another notion of sanity in a world that is manifestly insane. It's a story about love and war, madness and beauty, and above all, the essence of "birdness."
