The Dream King's Daughter — James Bow

Aurora Kelso is 15 when she realizes she's been living a dream - literally. Her job waiting tables at a truck stop, her childhood in small-town Saskatchewan, even her name: none of it is real. But the real reality seems to include thunderstorms made out of crows and monsters made out of grocery bags.

Aurora's got only one thing going for her: all her life, she's been able to read people's dreams by looking them in the eye. Armed with this uncomfortable ability and accompanied by her dreamless friend Polk, Aurora sets off to find her mother, the psychologist who wiped her real memory, and her father, the King of Dreams.

The Dream King's Daughter is an action-oriented urban fantasy for children and young adults aged 12 and up set in rural Saskatchewan.
