Synopsis: Meg&’s dreams seem to predict the future—but can she make a better future for herself? &“Filled with sensitivity and warmth&” (Children&’s Book Review Service). &“It was crazy to have dreams that came true. If you talked about them, it&’d upset the people you loved and make them angry. Meg had learned something bad about herself, an ugly secret.&” And so she decided to keep the dreams to herself, writing them down in a special notebook. Sometimes her dreams were pleasant, but other times they were disturbing—especially the one about the cave with the blue light. When Meg&’s worst dreams begin to come true, she&’s convinced they bring bad luck. Why else would her father move out to &“find himself&” or her best friend desert her for a rowdy crowd of older kids? Meg&’s grandmother and a wonderful new neighbor finally help her realize that her &“secret window&” into the future can bring good luck, if understood properly.
