The Daydreamer – Ian McEwan
Children have vivid imaginations, and the weird fantasies of a child are some of the most striking that a person can have. Ian McEwan’s “Daydreamer” is one of those rare novels that kids and adults will enoy, though for very different reasons.
Ten-year-old Peter Fortune is supposedly a “difficult” boy, even though he’s well-behaved and kind. That’s only because he’s a quiet loner — he doesn’t mind being around other people, but he prefers to withdraw into his vivid daydreams. When he and his sister fight and he receives his own room, an evil doll leads the other dolls to attack him. When an elderly cat is bullied by a younger cat, Peter becomes the cat for a day. He rubs vanishing cream on his family. He switches bodies with Kenneth, a wobbly toddler who tries to eat everything. He encounters a mystery burglar who has been robbing houses on his street. And he dreams of being an adult.
Must Read!!
