The Dreamer (Ala Notable Children's Books. Older Readers)

Pura BelprÃ© Award Winner

A tender, transcendent, and meticulously crafted novel from Newbery Honoree, Pam MuÃ±oz Ryan, and three-time Caldecott Honoree, Peter SÃs!

From the time he is a young boy, NeftalÃ hears the call of a mysterious voice. Even when the neighborhood children taunt him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him, and when he doubts himself, NeftalÃ knows he cannot ignore the call. He listens and follows as it leads him under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain on an inspiring voyage of self-discovery that will transform his life and, ultimately, the world.

Combining elements of magical realism with biography, poetry, literary fiction, and transporting illustrations, Pam MuÃ±oz Ryan and Peter SÃs take readers on a rare journey of the heart and imagination as they explore the inspiring early life of the poet who became Pablo Neruda.
