Creator Lora Innes writes and illustrates the tale of 17-year-old Beatrice “Bea” Whaley, a student who begins having vivid dreams about a brave and handsome soldier named Alan Warren… a member of an elite group known as Knowlton’s Rangers that fought during the Revolutionary War. Prone to keeping her head in the clouds, Bea welcomes her nightly adventures in 1776; filled with danger and romance they give her much to muse about the next day. But it is not long before Beatrice questions whether her dreams are simply dreams or something more…
“From the very first frame of The Dreamer, it is easy and an utter joy to be swept away by the power of Lora’s incredible artwork. Each panel is a feast for the eyes, imagination, and the heart. That this beautiful work is paired to a pitch-perfect story at once epic and intimate, both serious and playful, that straddles a teenage present and our nation’s most dramatic past is a testament to a creativity that knows no bounds. Impossible to put down, The Dreamer is for today what Johnny Tremain has been for generations; Ms. Innes stands beside Esther Forbes as her equal in bringing to life a story of the American Revolution that is an emotional journey through an illumination of the true history of the Birth of Freedom.” —Michael Frost Beckner, Spy Game
