Dreamsleeves

by Coleen Murtagh Paratore

Synopsis

A powerful, radiant story about a girl who wears her dreams on her sleeve... Aislinn is a girl with a lot of dreams, but due to family issues (caused mostly by her hard-drinking father), there's a lot standing in her way. While she should be enjoying the summer with friends, Aislinn is kept under lock and key and in charge of her younger siblings. The average girl might give up, but not Aislinn. A person, she says, should write their dream on their sleeve, putting it out there for the world to see, because there's a good chance that someone might come along and help you make your dream come true. What begins as a plea for help for her father to stop drinking, turns into a spark that has the whole community making their own dreamsleeves. At times gut-wrenching, Dreamsleeves is also funny, surprising, powerful, and inspiring. Everyone will see a little of themselves in Aislinn, a girl with talent, ambition, and big dreams.
