Starting November 2, library patrons can check out the latest selection for the Big Library Read, a digital book club sponsored by Overdrive/Libby and local libraries across the country.
Reverie is a contemporary YA fantasy novel by debut author Ryan La Sala. When a gay teen’s daydreams suddenly materialize in real life, he begins to question what is real, what is a dream, and which “reality” is worth fighting for.
Ever since Connecticut high school student Kane Montgomery was found nearly dead in a river, nothing has been the same. His memory has vanished. Three classmates who claim to be his friends seem to know what is happening, but can he trust them?
Reverie is Inception meets The Magicians, mixed with elements of Alice In Wonderland and Harry Potter, as Kane and his friends discover their magical powers, and battle a colorful cast of adversaries. Book of the Month reviewer Lily Philpott called it “an energy drink in novel form.” Action-packed, magical beyond your wildest dreams, and unashamedly queer, this electric debut is a wild ride from start to finish.
