The National Book Award nominated author of Monster draws a deft, compassionate portrait of self-discovery and empathy in this compelling novel of simple truths and complex lives. Twelve-year-old David can't understand why his older brother is acting like someone with a bad secret and why his father is filled with rage and manic energy. Then David meets a man who claims to be a 300-year-old bearer of dreams. If he looks deeply enough to understand Ty's and Rueben's dreams, David wonders, can he keep his family from flying apart?
