2011 book 324

Lisa Mantchev's Perchance to Dream
The second book in this series picks up right where the last one stops, with protagonist Bertie taking a motley crew to try and find a kidnapped friend--and maybe her father. I will say that this book is a little weird, or maybe "interesting" is a better word, since it doesn't follow the usual YA fantasy formula, and Mantchev packs a LOT of action into the story (which is kind of all over the place). It is the second installment of a trilogy, though, so the lack of resolution makes sense. I'm not going to comment on the love triangle, which is kind of silly and contrived. I like the characters, though, especially the fairies. B/B+.
