Book #3 Dreamhunter by Elizabeth Knox

This book is by a kiwi author. I actually found it while browsing at the university bookstore.

The world the book is based in is similar to this one except it contains "The Place". This is where dreamhunters can go to collect dreams. They then bring the dreams back to the regular world where they can share the dreams. The most sought after dreams are ones that bring healing and peace, although, there are nightmares to be found as well.

The story is about a girl Laura who, along with her cousin Rose, are turning 15 and are preparing for their Try. This is the ritual where children attempt to enter The Place. If they succeed, they become dream hunters who are able to earn wealth and fame. Laura is the daughter of one of the greatest / most powerful dream hunters. It follows her to the Try, and to the world she experiences after.

It's a great story. I think there's also a sequel. The writing is great, and I liked the story. I definitely recommend this one.
