Autumn 2005 Review:

Book Cover A Winter Night's Dream

    Casey and her best friend Helen were the new freshman rebels. Helen was a very paranoid girl, and Casey was a very laid back, yet sneaky, girl. Their English teacher said, "Go out and fall in love with somebody" and they didn't know how.  Later on, at a Christmas party, Casey fell in love with a boy named Drew, well ... not really a boy, he was a nineteen year old, although Casey didn't know that just yet. Eventually, the relationship went down hill, but Helen then fell in love with a Senior named Phil. All of the relationships that started that year ended except for one.
    I really enjoyed this book because it reminded me a lot of my school, only I'm in middle school. I would recommend this book for grades five to twelve. This is because the middle schools students would realize how stupid you could be when your in love, and the high school students may be able to make a schema with this book.
