This is another audio book I checked out for the drive to Louisiana last month. After listening to The Book Thief, this was definitely a lighter book to listen to. I first found Lois Lowry through The Giver with my older daughter. (At 17, it's still her favorite book!)
Gossamer tells the tale of invisible spirits who train to be dream-givers, learning to mix fragments of memories of daily life for people as they sleep. Littlest One, an apprentice, works with a tormented foster child, trying to bestow healing memories to replace the nightmares he usually has.
This is a very short (~2.5 hours) listen and Mary really liked it. I suppose I didn't find it nearly as enjoyable as The Giver, so was a little disappointed. It's a good book to listen to with your child, though.
