Makenna Duncan Mrs. Cook Writing 2-4 13 May 2022 The Dreamer Book Review The Dreamer is a historical fiction book by Pam Muñoz Ryan and Peter Sís. Neftalí lives in Tumeco, Chile and wants to become a writer but his father has other ideas for him. So, Neftalí decides to try and ignore his father by writing on his own. Then his father finds some of his writing and destroys it but Neftalí is still determined to follow his dreams. Topics addressed in this book are equality, passion, and perseverance. I liked this book because it showed how you can still follow your dreams no matter what. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 and would recommend it to anyone who might be going through a tough time in their life.

A tender, transcendent, and meticulously crafted novel from Newbery Honoree, Pam Muñoz Ryan, and three-time Caldecott Honoree, Peter Sís!
From the time he is a young boy, Neftalí hears the call of a mysterious voice. Even when the neighborhood children taunt him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him, and when he doubts himself, Neftalí knows he cannot ignore the call. He listens and follows as it leads him under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain on an inspiring voyage of self-discovery that will transform his life and, ultimately, the world.
Combining elements of magical realism with biography, poetry, literary fiction, and transporting illustrations, Pam Muñoz Ryan and Peter Sís take readers on a rare journey of the heart and imagination as they explore the inspiring early life of the poet who became Pablo Neruda.
