Reading the English version... I am curious as to how this book has been translated. How much has been changed in the translation from the German? For example, in the original; Is Lottie English? Or is she still German Is the poem that is her dream door's protection still a German poem? Is it still set in London?

The characters always live in the same places and have the same origin. Just like the German version of Harry Potter is still set in Britain and Harry and the Dursleys still live in Surrey. Lottie is obviously still German (Bavarian, to be precise) and therefore, the poem is in German, too. And Liv and her family obviously still live in England, though her father is originally German, which is why their last name is Silber and not Silver. You see, when translating a book the translators are really only... well, translating. They're not supposed to change the story or even write a completely new one. Depending on the book they might change people's or places' names (e.g. A Song of Ice and Fire does that a lot and it even happens in Harry Potter every once in a while) but they would never change the setting or anything like that.(less)

"Home is where your books are."
I preordered this as soon as I heard about it. And then I read it as fast as I could. And you know, I liked it, but not as much as Rubyred. Sometimes I just had the feeling the author tried too hard to be funny and romantic and in the end it was a little too much for my taste. (view spoiler)[ Satanic cults? Anabell as the evil crazy one? Naaah. (hide spoiler)]
Still, I enjoyed this one, the characters were funny, the idea and what she made of it very original. And "Home is where your books are."

Just like the Precious Gemstone Trilogy, this book had charming characters and great potential, but it just fell flat. Things were dragged out and I was just bored. This time I don't think I'll be continuing with the trilogy.

This book was a pretty quick, easy read, and the best thing about it is the Hngh. This book's difficult. I'm not even sure I rated it correctly.

Until about May, I was never less than 3 books ahead. Now I'm three books behind and bricking it. I thought this book might pull me from my funk, but it was a bust.
This book was a pretty quick, easy read, and the best thing about it is the narrative voice; I loved Liv's character, loved her narration, loved her careful balance between dry and joyful. I usually hate this "woe is me, I have too much money and too many opportunities" narrative trend in a lot of YA, but Gier strikes a nice balance between Liv's hermitic loneliness and her easygoing nature. I related to it, which is saying quite a lot. It's also been brilliantly translated from its original German, which helps.
The problem is that this book just didn't make sense; it was like an acid trip, and not in a good way. Not in a pleasantly disorienting way. In a way that made me wonder if my copy was missing pages. It's not really about Liv instantly becoming friends with these Londoner Raven Boys, which is unlikely but not impossible - I did a two-day intensive TEFL course in Glasgow a few weeks ago, and after about an hour in a class of 15 students, we were all soul mates. I mean it. We'd have taken a bullet for each other. When I was querying my manuscript, I had an agent tell me that it was weird that the protagonist makes such fast friends when she moves to a new city, but I swear to god, meet the right people in the right setting and you really can experience the gush of instalove. Sometimes I think about the people I met in that classroom, people I knew for a maximum of 20 hours and will never see again, and I pine.
But it's more about the way that none of the characters get freaked out by this whole dreamscape thing, and nobody thinks it's weird, and then there's the strange ball, and I know I'm not explaining this very well, but it was all so surreal. Like The Mighty Boosh. (What the fuck was that all about.) I'm not getting my point across very well, probably because it was something I couldn't put my finger on - maybe the atmosphere, or something like that. It was just bizarre.
I haven't read Gier's Ruby Red series, and I'm not sure I'll bother, because I just really don't care for stories about London. I'm done with them for now. I don't want to read anything else about London. But this book was a strange mishmash for me, and while I'd love to read more of Liv's voice, I don't think I can really justify throwing myself back into this psychedelic funhouse for another 300 pages. I have better things to do. ...more

My two star rating said "It was okay.
I think that's true because this book is okay. It's fun sometimes but it was overall disappointing. I was expecting something magical and fun and some adventure. Not 4 golden boys who made a pact with a devil. Enter this girl who says YES to the things that should be said NO to and who's sometimes badass but most of the time a tad annoying.
So this is okay but I sure as hell want something different.

Dream a Little Dream follows a hilarious girl named Olivia who moves to London and meets 4 boys in a dream one night, and these same four boys go to her school. What ensues next is Liv, using her love for solving problems, trying to figure out what the boys are up to, and how she fits in to everything.
The best part of the book is by far the characters. Really diverse and intricate characters. All have a unique voice and really bring something to the story.
Plot wise this book was great! I love the creativity of the story. I love the pacing. Never too fast or too slow. I felt like every scene was necessary and helped further the plot in some way. I also love the ending because it has a bit of an open ending, but if this was a stand alone I wouldn't mind.
I truly adored this book and I hope that book 2 and 3 get translated to English soon!
I definitely recommend this book, and probably the entire trilogy, to everyone who like a bit of a light fantasy read with nothing overly complicated. ...more

So the translated version of the first book in this series, Dream a Little Dream has been released this month, that centers around the life of an unconventional teenager who is admitted to a new English school in London and so as her dreams take a new turn, exciting adventures are "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."

Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs. Talking stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yes, Liv's dreams have been pretty weird lately. Especially this one where she's in a graveyard at night, watching four boys conduct dark magic rituals.
The strangest part is that Liv recognizes the boys in her dream. They're classmates from her new school in London, the school where she's starting over because her mom has moved them to a new country (again). But what's really scaring Liv is that the dream boys seem to know things about her in real life, things they couldn't possibly know—unless they actually are in her dreams? Luckily, Liv could never resist a good mystery, and all four of those boys are pretty cute.
Liv Silver, a 15 year old teenager leads a pretty unconventional life compare to her age, mainly because of her mom's constantly changing jobs, she has got to live and see a lot of new places and this time her mom's new job and her mom's new boyfriend, leads her straight to London along with her Mia and the au pair named, Lottie. Liv is enrolled into one of the poshest school in London, Frognal Academy, where girls have stupid names and boys are terribly hot with great hair and everybody is subjected to their school's very own blog, Tittle-Tattle Blog, with an anonymous author. Following her entry to this new school, her dreams started to get weirder and weirder, where no doubt she could see her number one crush from her school, Henry and in someone she feels her dreams her actually real. And eventually Liv started investigating those dreams and what she finds out is not at all nice and friendly.
Having never read any of the previous books by this author, I had no idea what to expect from her writing style, but from the very first page, itself, I was drawn into the story, mainly because of Liv's sense of humor and her witty demeanor of cracking up jokes with her sarcastic comments. Yes, I can vouch for Liv and say that she is the life of this book, without her the journey would be very dull.
The pacing of the book is good, but I believe that the translation is not much polished compared to the original book. Liv's fun-filled adventures certainly kept me going through the book, well since it falls under middle-grade genre, the mystery felt bit predictable layered with childish drama.
The characters apart from Liv are not that impressionable, especially those four boys, except that hot, sultry looks! Yes, there is romance between Henry and Liv which is sweet and innocent, but the author never shifts her focus from the main theme of the book which is the mystery surrounding Liv's dream.
So if you want to delve deeper into the worlds of dreams and wants to float in them, then do read this cute and funny book that is filled with thrilling adventures.
Verdict: Drams worlds with strange door knobs, fantasy world, Gossip Girl kinda feel with some hot dudes- if these are things that you love to read about, then definitely go for this book.

I have been stalling to read this series for 2 years, but I think I am ready now. One of my absolute favorite trilogies was written by Kerstin Gier and I am really hoping this one would be just as amazing, if not more.

"But maybe I wasn't doing the film justice and it wasn't the usual high school garbage with the malicious blond cheerleader, the charming but superficial football captain, and the impoverished, beautiful outsider with a heart of gold."
---Damn… Kerstin Gier calling them out, and I. Am. Here. For. It.
I forgot how relatable her characters were.
I'm not really the type to laugh when a funny scene appears in a book/movie. Not because I don't find it funny, but because I'm more of an "internal laughter" type of person (wow, way to sound creepy) However, this book had me outright choking out laughter – and I just love it. Liv, the protagonist, said the most hilariously relatable things.
The plot was interesting. Slow, but definitely different. Liv, started sharing dreams with other people – dreams where she and the others could do pretty much anything (like fly), enter other people's dreams, and communicate with one another. It was very eerie at times and incredibly fun at others seeing Liv discover how these dreams worked. I mean, would I like to be able to do anything in my dreams, go anywhere, see anyone??? Fuck yeah, that'd be awesome! Unfortunately for me, I'm never aware that I'm dreaming in my dreams so no control here.
Thoughts on the 2nd half of the book
Honestly, I got bored. The plot was not really moving anywhere. So much secrecy, so little answers. It did not feel progressive. The bits of mysteries and reveals speckled throughout the book did not make me more curious. I just felt disinterested and was waiting for something amazing to happen. It didn't really.
Also, I felt like the characters got a bit dull. Don't get me wrong. I really liked some of them, such as Liv's sweet nanny named Lottie and her adorable, funny sister named Mia. The thing that was lacking was in the friendship department. Because a good part of the book was set at school, it sucked to see that most of the girls we met were so…nasty. They were boys-obsessed or superficial or just plain ugh. I know this is a "YA book," and these books often times have that, but can we get anymore cliché? Thus, Liv had one "female friend" at this school named Persephone – who was also one of those superficial, boy-obsessed girls – and what was more unpleasant that Liv hung out with her everyday even though she found Persephone annoying AF and didn't even like her. And it's like, What are you doing, Liv???? I suppose Liv's sole support system would be Mia, her sister, but despite the apparent closeness that we saw at the beginning between them, I was somewhat surprise that Liv did not even THINK or debate on telling Mia about her weird dreams. Not that she should, but she did not even consider it, which was weird when she treated Mia almost like a best friend at the beginning of the book.
Furthermore, a big focus of the book was on these 4 "hot, popular" guys at school (no, not the Raven boys). A bit of a cliché, but I'm OK with that. My problem was that we did not really see any developments or true connection among them. Clearly, they were "best friends," but I did not feel the chemistry. I just felt blah about them, which was disappointing. In addition, Liv's dreams and her agreement to pretty much save all their asses – I felt like that should have made the boys want to actually KNOW her, or at least feel more appreciative. However, she just said yes, and they told her only part of the plans, and that's it. No real development after that. I thought she was going to get included in the group somehow because she was an integral part of their mission afterall.
These characters were not developed very well in my opinion, except for maybe Henry and Grayson. Henry – because he was the love interest of Liv, and Grayson – because he was sorta-kinda her brother now. Arthur and Jasper – I did not get a good grasp on their characters, but all four boys as a whole were just blah for being a central part of the book. With that being said, I'm hoping that these characters would become less bland and more endearing in the future books.
I liked the romance in the book. It was a bit cheesy and sudden, but still very cute. There was some cute bantering and funny and sweet moments. My problem with Henry would be his secrecy but I'm not too concerned about that for now because there are still 2 more books to go. I can't wait for more developments because this could easily become the best thing ever or just go up in flames.
I'm giving it 3 stars. I certainly like certain components of the book, like the initial plot, the humor, the romance, and Liv's family, but a lot of the core things, such as the slow development of the plot and characters, and the rather unpleasant school setting and friendships were disappointing. And because I have to – I am going to compare this with The Ruby Red Trilogy, also by Kerstin Gier. I have to say that Ruby Red is certainly better in pretty much every aspect – the plot is better-paced and more fun, the characters are more endearing and funny, and the protagonist is just…perfect. However, the one thing that this series perhaps has done better (judging by this 1st book) is the romance. At this moment, I like Henry more than Gideon. Anyway, I am curious about how the future books will develop. It has been overall a fun first book with a lot of promise, even if I am disappointed with some aspects of it.

Dream A Little Dream by Kerstin Gier
Book One of the Silver Trilogy
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)
Source: ARC sent by the publisher
Summary (from Goodreads):

Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs. Talking stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yep, Liv's dreams have been pretty weird lately. Especially this one where she's in a graveyard at night, watching four boys perform dark magic rituals.
The really weird thing is that Liv recognizes the boys in her dream. They're classmates from her new school in London, the school where's she's starting over because her mom has moved them to a new country (again). But they seem to know things about her in real life that they couldn't possibly know, which is mystifying. Then again, Liv could never resist a good mystery. . . .
Kerstin Gier does it again! I wish all of her books could be picked up by USA publishers, because I've been quite in love with her books since Ruby Red was published in the United States, in 2011. The Ruby Red trilogy is one of my favorite series of all time!
In this new series, Liv is leaving one place for another, but her new home has some... interesting people to it. Her and her younger sister, Mia, are constantly traveling and moving, as their mother is a professor (their father is as well, but the parents are divorced). The girls show up in London, and the first person their mother introduces them to? Surprise - her boyfriend! Whom she will be marrying, and Liv and Mia will being moving in to his house. Liv's soon-to-be stepbrother, is a strange, quite one, and her soon-to-be-stepsister is pushy and a bit rude, and her soon-to-be-stepfather is old and just a bother in general. Attending school means meeting new people, and Liv immediately meets Grayson's friends - Arthur, Jasper, and Henry. Things get weird when Liv starts dreaming, and the four boys are in her dreams. Or she's in theirs. When they want her to join their strange dream group, Liv is skeptical, but she joins. But perhaps things aren't so plausible - perhaps things are much more sinister than they appear...
One thing that strikes me in all of Gier's books is the humor. I love how funny Liv's voice is, how Gier makes Liv a tiny bit awkward, a lot sweet, and a bit sarcastic, in a funny way. This book is hilarious, even if there are parts that are very serious, and borderline scary.
I liked Liv. She has a distinct voice, and it's so great to watch the story unfold from her perspective. She likes logic and science, and likes to figure things out. She joins the boys and their bizarre rituals, but mostly she wants to help them, and wants to prove to herself that demons aren't real. See, the boys tried to summon a demon who will grant their hearts' desire. On Halloween. Wild.
I like the boys. There are four of them, one of them being the stepbrother (Grayson), the other three being his friends. They're all described as super good-looking, like shampoo commercial guys. Each has their own personality. Jasper is very rambunctious, and doesn't really take things seriously. Grayson is a bit protective. Arthur... he's an odd one (and you'll see why, at the end of this book). Henry is the mysterious and brooding one, but he's also very sweet.
Another thing that I really liked about this book is the sister-sister relationship! Usually, the younger sister is SO ANNOYING, and I dislike her a lot (like, genuinely dislike her, not dislike her as the kid sister). Mia is about five years younger, but she's mature for her age, yet fun like a child should be. I liked her a lot, which surprised me.
The story is quite interesting and goes by very quickly. I was really strapped for time this week (soooo many exams and papers and research), but I finished this one faster than I expected. I love how Gier writes - her writing is beautiful, but also very easy to read and pay attention to. Seriously, anyone could read her books, translated or not, and know her writing style and voice.
There IS romance in this book! Check out my Swoon Thursday post from yesterday (March 12th) if you want a little insight on the romance. The love interest is pretty swoony, and he's more than a love interest - he plays quite pivotal roles in the book. No love triangle, and while Liv becomes infatuated with the love interest pretty quickly, I wouldn't call it insta-love. More like insta-interest. There are no declarations of love or serious feelings, so no insta-love. The romance is really sweet, but also very subtle and a bit in the background compared to the story.
The story was intriguing and almost scary at some points! Dreams are beautiful and scary places. I didn't see the climax coming - and it occurs pretty late, around 90% of the book. But I couldn't stop reading. This book wraps up pretty nicely, but in a way that you KNOW there will be more books (hence, the Silver Trilogy). No cliffhanger though, yay!
Nothing in particular - I might have wanted a little more from the romance, but I know how Gier writes in the romance into the story of her books, and it's always very slow and subtle. Which is cool, I'm fine with that.
Would I Recommend It:
Yes! Great paranormal/fantasy read, set in the contemporary world. This one was fun and easy and quick, and not to mention lush in details and gorgeous in writing. And the cover is pretty great! I liked the original USA cover, but this new cover is spectacular. In any case, I'd recommend any Gier book I've read (now four), this one included!
4 stars. I'll definitely be reading book two as soon as I can get my hands on it! Noooow, please! I wonder if there are editions in Spanish (bilingual for the win!)... I'll buy one of those, if I have to! ...more

I've read it in Russian and have to admit that our translator did a good job! The last time I was laughing so hard was my Angelfall-reading. I don't know what this book like in English and I don't know German but hope you guys had (or would have) as much fun as did I.
I really liked "Precious Stone Trilogy": it was simple, funny and cute. I'd been shelving "Silber" for a few months, 'cause I thought I'd be kinda disappointed or this book would turn out to be very similar to "Precious…". I was worrying for nothing. From the very first pages I got that I will love this series. Near to 30% I even made a sacrifice to the god of awesome books (by eating some halva while reading the book, I think this god is a sweet-tooth, also I have no goats).
What do we have here?
A Family #1: an extravagant and a bit of babish mother who moves from one country to another because of her work contracts (she's professor), 13 and 16 year old sisters with good wits, a nanny-for-all-occasions Lottie who sometimes twists English in a very funny way, and a cute and active dog.
A Family #2: a calm and wise dad, 17 year old twins (a daughters who wanna be the best in everything and a son who's more like his dad and can call a demon), a cute and passive cat.
The Family #1 + The Family #2 --> under the same roof = LOL
But this is just a taste of what's to come!
Lucid dreaming, British Gossip Girl and her blog, four handsome seniors who want something (and fast) from our MC named Liv, a demon who can fulfill your wishes and wants to break loose into our world, school days and teenage problems. And it's all set out in a very laughable manner!
But lord forbid you to look in this book for strong sense, morals etc. If you pick up "Silber", you should remember for what/who and why this thing was published. There will be naivety, mismatches, predictability, but you will love this because of its writing style.
It's like communication with people. You can be clever, wise and thoughtful but uninteresting and boring. On the other hand, you can be as plain as day, but friendly, nice, with a great sense of humor. I bet that people would love to pass the time with the second you. And "Silber" is just like that.

♥Liv and her sister's life has always been in travel. They never had a home. Her mother's job never allowed them to settle in one place. And this year her mother is going to teach in Oxford and hence they all reached London! And there began the drama!
THE SPENCERS
Spencers are Liv's new family; future step-father and future step-siblings. Ernest is Liv's mother's new boyfriend and Florence and Grayson are his twins. I absolutely loved Grayson and absolutely hated Florence!
Frognal Academy is our MC's new private school. I loved her new school and her new friends even Persephone grew on me after some time. And the blog was such a fun to read!!
Henry, Grayson, Jasper, Arthur! I LOVED their gang! Their friendship! Everything about them. Even Jasper aka Shaving Fun Ken and boy he was something!!
The DREAM-TRAVELING
I will give it to Kerstin Gier the idea of dream-traveling is freaking awesome and refreshing! I mean we can spy people in their dreams and do the inconceivable and change our shape and form and can be an owl or a panda or whatever we like!!! And we can wander all night in the dream corridor!!
The demon and Anabel's thing was cool but stupid!
Henry!

It had everything a perfect Halloween read has. Scary things, like whispers in the dark, shadows lurking in abandoned corridors, demonic rituals and stalkers. Fun, sass and an a totally amazing main character who made me crack up with laughter in her every quote. A unique love story, filled with magic, cuteness and passion, that made me smile and blush, and ship Liv and Henry. Villains unlike any others, secrets and twists, and a cover that made me take millions of pictures.
The writing was light, warm and gripping, the plot was unpredictable and left me with a million questions, the characters were all lovable and unique in their own way and the magic was careful, unique and well-written. I have to admit that at first, I had a fear that this book would remind me of Raven Boys, but in an inferior way, and I kept wondering if I'll like it but when I started reading, I realized it's actually pretty different from TRC but equally lovable. The small size of the book makes it a quick read for those who don't have enough time but want to read something spooky for the month.
I just can't explain with enough words what a wonderful experience it was. I always clicked with books about dreams, and Kerstin Gier's lovely sense of humor made it even more fabulous. I devoured this beauty in four days and was so happy about it that I kept mentioning it to every conversation I had. I also have a theory about who Secrecy might be, and I would love to share it with those who want to learn. I am not gonna add it in here because it's a long explanation.
In the second book, I would really love to see how the dream powers is explained, get a few glimpses of Liv's father perhaps, explore more of the dreamworld, live adventures, solve mysteries, enjoy sarcasm and jokes and fangirl about Liv and Henry.
Overall, I definitely recommend this if you want to read something quick but also very spooky and in-the-mood ♥
Be strong and wonderful and spooky, guys ♥ And never let anyone bring you down ♥

What kind of ending was that? good thing I own book two!
It was a fun read and I really really enjoyed Liv'a character so much. Also, Mia! They were both hilarious and some scenes had me crying of laughter.
I did like the premise but tbh it took me forever to believe it because like Liv, I was skeptical of everything. It was definitely not at all what I expected. I did feel like the story was rushed but I think that's because the writing is simple and the world isn't crazy weird or anything.

It did remind me of The Raven Boys but only bc of the rich boys, school, and the magical aspects but that's it. It doesn't really compare at all to TRC.

This book has been translated into English, as Dream a Little Dream.
Given my earnest attempts to avoid getting into yet another German YA, I honestly couldn't say why "Silber: Das erste Buch der Träume" ended up on my reading list. The unusual cover of the German edition could be one of the reasons, as I was hoping for some modern surrealist stuff. Then again given the number of YA books on GR, maybe it's just a question of statistics.
I haven't researched either the author or the book before This book has been translated into English, as Dream a Little Dream.
I haven't researched either the author or the book before starting, and the brief glance over its reviews left me vaguely annoyed. Turns out I had apparently managed to choose the cheesiest of chart toppers, that everyone raves about... to say nothing of the romantic pairing possibilities.
The story begins with Liv and her sister Mia, returning from their summer holiday in Switzerland, ready to begin a promising new life in a cozy little cottage in Oxford.
That's the plan at any rate. Not only does Liv's swiss cheese souvenir attract the interest of a drug dog at the airport, but her mother also announces a slight change of plans... of the new boyfriend variety. Since their Oxford dream house wasn't quite so dreamy, they'd be moving into a posh London neighborhood instead, and attend the fancy (fictional) "Frognal Academy". All thanks to Ernest (the boyfriend), whose own two children are also coincidentally attending said school.
So far so bad, but then Liv manages to top it all by meeting the school's 4 most popular guys for an impromptu seance session at the Highgate Cemetery... in a dream.
The story is narrated from Liv's perspective, peppered with lots of humorous quips which often had me giggling like mad. As unoriginal as the plot may sound, I greatly enjoyed our heroine's dream wanderings as well as the concept behind how things in the dream world worked... or didn't work. Though I didn't find any memorable one-liners, the generally funny undertone of the story definitely helped boost its rating by at least a star.
The ending was very satisfying, though some reviewers criticize it due to distinct lack of (view spoiler)[demonic activity (hide spoiler)], it didn't bother me. The characters were quite interesting, and to a certain degree also likable; even the annoying ones (like Persephone and Florence).
My favorite character here was probably Mia, inspite of her small "screen time" she had the best lines:
"We are also extremely excited to be here", said Mia, after a few seconds of embarrassed staring. "Is there at least something good to eat?"
"Does Mrs Finchley still collect those lovely porcelain figurines?"
I was contemplating whether I could answer with yet another "Yes, very interesting," without seeming obnoxious, but Mia had already answered:
"No! She's now collecting quite horrible and cheesy stuff. Some imbecilic-looking dancers."
"She's American. She could be a marriage dodger, or a psychopath,or …"
"… messy, kleptomaniac, republican, Jehova's Witness …" I suggested.
"That's not funny," said Florence.
"Do you have anything against Jehova's Witnesses?", asked Mia innocently.
"And now tell me, is your dad an internationally wanted terrorist or a serial killer?" Mia inquired sweetly behind me.
The main reason for that 'lost' star, are minor issues, but they added up by the end of the book. For example - the narrator's rather odd fascination with eye colors:
- lots of "lit up" eyes
- Henry's slate gray eyes
- Grayson's caramel-candy-colored eyes
- and last but not least Anabel's amazing turquoise-colored eyes
On the whole lots of fun, perhaps a bit reminiscent of Gossip Girl due to the mysterious Secrecy, who regularly airs Frognal Academy's dirty laundry on the Tittle-Tattle Blog.
Verdict: 4/5 stars
Suffice to say, I liked it enough to immediately pick up the sequel, Silber: Das zweite Buch der Träume.

The story itself revolves around a group of male friends who have unleashed a demon on Halloween with the usual bad results. Unfortunately, they lost their "virgin sacrifice" and need to replace her with a new member to re-up their blood circle and get the demon back on this side of the void. That's where the main character, Liv, comes in. As usual, Kerstin Gier has written a feisty and comical lead for her story and Liv continuously goes toe-to-toe with her male co-characters in terms of witty comebacks and innovative plans. While the book does go a bit overboard with eligible love interest for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For me, this book was a nice light read with the added benefit of plot twist that were scary as all heck. However, keep in mind I'm not a person who reads/watches/indulges in horror or ghost stories of any kind so if you do then this book will probably be the equivalent of you watching an episode of Barney. Nevertheless, the book was a good start to a trilogy.
If you enjoyed this book, check out the The Nightmare Affair or Kerstin Gier's other Precious Stones series.

The paranormal aspect allows the phrase, "I'll see you in my dreams" to take on an entirely different meaning in this book. It was pretty awesome.

Oh, I can't wait to read more of this series!
While I didn't know that it was about such a young character, especially since I wanted to read this book because of Ruby Red, I really enjoyed my time reading. I wouldn't say it's as good as the Precious Stones trilogy (because this one is incredible and one of my all-time favourites), but it had potential, so I'm really excited to know what happens next.
I was surprised by the theme of this book, because I only expected something magical or Oh, I can't wait to read more of this series!
I was surprised by the theme of this book, because I only expected something magical or fantastic, not demoniac. It was really interesting and different from what I usually read, so that was a nice surprise. I liked the doors in people's dreams and all the story created within them, because it's such an awesome idea.
I do wish the characters were older, because it's a bit hard for me to relate. Also, sometimes, they feel mature to me, but then they do something that reminds me of their age, so that's really confusing. It was a bit hard for me to see them as they really are and it had an impact on my reading experience, as much as I wanted to ignore their age. I don't know if it's simply because of that, but I also couldn't understand the main characters really well and like them as I normally would, because I wasn't always sure of their motives. I spent most of my time trying to get past everyone's barriers and it annoyed me quite a bit.

Every once and a while you come across an author that is so wonderfully talented that all of their novels become an automatic buy. Gier is one of those such authors.
Unfortunately for me, since I don't speak any other language besides English, I must wait what seems like an eternity in order to get my hands on translated versions of her novels. I loved Dream a Little Dream so much that I planned to purchase the original version of the second novel in this series, in German, and then 4.5 stars
Unfortunately for me, since I don't speak any other language besides English, I must wait what seems like an eternity in order to get my hands on translated versions of her novels. I loved Dream a Little Dream so much that I planned to purchase the original version of the second novel in this series, in German, and then spend countless hours translating it. I know, how utterly ridiculous am I?
Dream a Little Dream follows Liv, who has recently moved to London because her mother plans to remarry. After an unfortunate evening of meeting her new step siblings she begins to dream of unique doors that lead her into the dreams of others. When her dreams merge with reality she begins to realise that the world her step-brother warned her about is just as dangerous, just as mysterious, and just as cruel as he described.
Gier writes with such an eeriness that I devoured this book in one sitting. She never gives you too much information, which I love because it means you just keep on guessing until the very end. There is romance, weird cultish followings, strangeness that goes way beyond dream walking….shall I say more?
This one is highly reminiscent of Lewis Carroll's work, which is like an always bonus!

OMG didn't expect this at all, being honest, but I really really liked this book!, I feel it was the reading I needed at this time, super light and fun. The fact that the author explores dreams and transforms them into such an entertaining plot is a great merit and my favorite part
You can find this one and more of my reviews on my blog A Book. A Thought.

In Dream a Little Dream we follow Liv, she's a pretty normal 15 year old girl who always has to move from one place to another due to family matters, for which she has never been able to establish herself in a single place, have friends and that kind of things. But finally she and her sister have the opportunity to establish their lives in London with their mother, but things will be a little different than how Liv imagined them. Once there, she begins to have very strange dreams, and in one of them she sees four boys practicing magic rituals in a graveyard, but the strangest thing is that she knows these guys, and they suddenly seem to know everything about her, but, how is that possible?!, unless they really are getting into her dreams. Liv can't resist a good mystery, so she'll get to the bottom of it all, at all costs.
There's something so funny and dynamic about this story.
The plot, although it's really interesting and keeps you wanting to know more, isn't the most unique thing I've read, in fact, I think it has a lot of cliche everywhere, so I really have to warn you about it. But taking all that aside, I think the most interesting part of the book is the fact that almost a large part of it occurs in the dreams of our main character and that's so much fun, I love how the author manages this aspect so that you never know what can happen, and is something really scary if you think about it, because dreams are so unpredictable, anything can happen in them.
I think about the characters and in general I feel that none has impacted me or left a big mark on me, but even so, I like how they interact and how they work with each other, there's a lot of school drama in this book and it's fun. There's an anonymous person who runs a blog telling gossip about popular guys and I had all those Gossip Girl feeling lol, this is super secondary in the story, but I wanted to tell you just cause is so funny. I like Liv, her curiosity about everything is contagious and and I like how she expresses herself being in a group made up entirely of boys, I love how she wouldn't let herself be overwhelmed by them. And then I think the other guys are the typical pupolar and super sexis ones and all those things that I would call cliche, but I think I pretty much liked Grayson, being honest. But still, I had a good time with them, and I repeat, ...they're not memorable characters but it's entertaining to hang out with them.
I've heard some people trying to compare this dynamic of four boys and a girl with "The Raven Boys" and I'm like "GIRRRRL DON'T DO THAT". These books have nothing in common, each one has its own unique points but I think The Raven Boys is something incomparable (yes, I'm a fan)
The writing style is sensational, so easy to read, again it's nothing really poetic, rather it's simple and fulfills its function, which is to keep the reader interested. For me it was exactly what I needed so I'm happy to have found this writing style so decontracted and quick to read. Although I enjoyed it, I have to tell you that there are moments when I felt that the author was trying too hard to be funny, or at least from my point of view, I think maybe putting humor in dramatic moments is a bit weird.
There's not much more to tell you about the plot, I honestly don't want to start doing spoilers so I'll stop here.
I had a great time with this book, I had fun and I was interested in everything that happened from the beginning to the end, I don't think is something bad about the book, just some small things that I've already said, but I decided keep my rating like this because I feel there's nothing in the book that really impacted me or was memorable in some way, even though I plan to continue with the series because I can see the potential and I still have questions that I would like to be answered in the following books. I feel that the characters could grow a lot, the plot as well and I'm pretty interested in finding out what will happen.

I recommend the book?: YES!. I think it would be ideal for all those who want a light book with a paranormal and mysterious touch. Also if you're looking for a quick and fun reading I think it's a good option

I have read two books by this author before- the first two books of the Edelstein Trilogie, Ruby Red and Sapphire Blue. Since Sapphire Blue was extremely disappointing, I wasn't expecting to like Dream A Little Dream, but I gave it a chance anyway. And I'm glad I did! I really enjoyed this!
Liv is an awesome main character, in my opinion. She's funny and sarcastic and I was going to reread in October 2016 but never got around to it. oh well. some other time, then
Liv is an awesome main character, in my opinion. She's funny and sarcastic and just really relatable. Sometimes she did a few questionable things, but she was never annoyingIy stupid. I also like Mia, Liv's sister. She was adorable :) And Lottie was funny too.
I also thought the plot was really interesting and never boring. I thought the idea of sharing dreams was fascinating.
My only complaint is the romance, which I think the book could've done without. Henry is nice, but I just don't think he and Liv have any chemistry. But at least he's not an asshole.
I really liked Dream A Little Dream overall. Maybe it wasn't amazing, but it sure as hell is enjoyable. ...more

I gave a start. "As bad as that? Oh, that's terrible." I added - and I was to regret it in the course of the day - "If you see me looking like that again, give me a nudge or throw something at me. Promise?"
