Book Of Dreams by O Melling

 I enjoyed the first three books in this series and this one was a great conclusion. The heroine is a bit sad at having moved to Canada and wants to return to Ireland so she's very morose and takes interest in nothing. To top it off she's starting grade 9 in a new school and has no friends. Then a mysterious boy transfers into her class and sticks up for her when the teacher yells at her (he yells at her because she was looking out the window aka trying to get into fairy land) this incident is important because though she tries to get into fairy land she can't because she's blocked by something, and this will determine her quest for the rest of the book; to find out why she can't get in. Also, there's something not quite normal about the new kid.
 

All in all I'd say a pretty decent book. I think that this one, more than the others, is about finding yourself. The battle the heroine goes through in this book is an inner struggle. At the beginning of the book she can't even use her magic because she's so depressed, but she gets stronger and overcomes things. Plus, once again she goes it alone. Unlike the previous heroines who were questing to save/ find someone, she was questing for herself, though granted, this time round she has a partner in crime. great conclusion to a great series.
