Dreamland

Dreamland is by Sarah Dessen. Caitlin's sister ran away on her 16th birthday. Her parents are so devastated they seem to forget Caitlin is still around. As Caitlin struggles to deal with her sister's disappearance she meets Rogerson Biscoe. He's handsome, magnetic, and different from anyone she has ever known. He makes her forget Cass is gone. But what happens when the cure is worse than the disease? If you like Dessen's work you will enjoy this novel of troubled teenage relationships. There is profanity, violence, and recreational drug and alcohol abuse, but none of it is gratuitous it is integral to the plot.

Ratings: 10th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content) - V (violence) - S (non graphic sexual content).
