Brought up in the Depression, Johnny DaSilva is leader of a fun and imaginative gang that lives out their dreams in the Big Tree in which each has a branch that serves as the Lone Ranger's Silver, the race car of Morey Amsterdam, the rocket ship of Buck Rogers, the crow's nest for Black Bart the Pirate. When World War II broke out, they tried every ruse their young imaginations could think of to get into the marines, army, and navy but had to settle for the Boy Scouts. But the faux pas war to end all wars came too soon for the Big Tree Gang. Johnny is best described by an aunt as having the millstone around the neck of having a strict English Episcopalian conscience and bucking bronco Portuguese sexual proclivities. Two girls are in love with him, one wealthy and popular, the other sexually abused and who considered herself a worthless toy, until she met Johnny. Whatever they knew about the facts of life, male and female, were learned pretty much by trial and error.

The Tree of Lost Dreams takes Johnny DaSilva and his Big Tree buddies from youths who lived out their fantasies of heroism high on the towering limbs of the Big Tree to the real world. While trying and failing to enter WW II because of their youth, they were greeted with the Korean War. Johnny's words "Now we have our own war" were received with some standing tall on their high limb while others deciding to instead abandon the heights and place their two feet squarely on the ground. Johnny, Righty, Scoff, Rhesus and others bought into Johnny's words, "If we don't fight them there, we will fight them here." The two young girls that were in love with Johnny, wealthy and popular Yelena, and poor and abused Bernadette, are now women. It took little time for the Big Tree gang to learn the great distance between the lofty fresh air of their beloved Tree to the lowly face in the muck, nearly impossible to breathe gasps of battlefield blood and barf. Johnny suffers the epitome of the wounds of the lower depths and the different directions it spirals him, Yelena and Bernadette into. Hopefully you have read the Tree of Young Dreamers, Frank Sousa's first novel of the Tree Trilogy. The third, the Tree of New Roots is underway.

A dream-filled nightscape like no other, Dream Weaver's Quest: The Labyrinth War by B. Lindstrom is a shockingly sublime, altogether engaging and compelling fantasy novel for young adults. First in a dynamic trilogy, this imaginative epic offers a new twist as to the fine line between what any of us are willing to accept and what we are willing to conquer. For one teen, the realm of slumber is a playground. As a brave Dream Weaver, she is a big part of what the world dreams and what it endures in the way of nightmares, but who we are in our dreams is often vastly different from who we are in real life. While fourteen-year-old Alexandra is asleep, she's a Dream Weaver with special abilities, but when she's awake she's something else entirely. Alex's grandfather warns her that a war is coming in the sleeping realm and that she's destined to become a great leader. Her spirit guide, Randall, further explains that it's up to her to travel to the Botanical Labyrinth to find what's needed to repair the fabric of the dream cloak that protects Lysandra, the guardian of dreams, after Lilith, Empress of Nightmares, damages it. With the help of Sandman, Alex maneuvers the mysterious landscapes of the darkening realm even though Lilith kidnaps her grandfather's waking spirit and holds him suspended between the living and the dead. As the nights grow longer and wearier, Alex will enlist the help of new friends and prove that in any realm-awake or asleep-the greater strength always lies in sharing.
