Thief of Dreams — Todd Strasser

It's Christmastime. Your parents have just left for a month-long business trip. And your long-lost Uncle Lawrence is staying with you. Happy holidays indeed.

But Uncle Lawrence plays video games with you, flirts with your psychologist, and treats you like a real person. He also keeps a wetsuit under the bed and stays out all night. Even as you grow to love Uncle Lawrence, you suspect he might be a professional thief. What will you do if he is?

Through a heart-racing second-person narrative, Thief of Dreams stunningly depicts a boy struggling with his suspicions about a desperately needed friend. Acclaimed teen novelist Todd Strasser has created a psychological thriller that will haunt your (the reader's) dreams.
