From the first scene on a train when we meet Lucy Darrington, we can tell she's made of stern stuff, determined to find her missing father in the deeps woods of Sadaarthe. At every step of the way Lucy encounters great obstacles -- giant sea snakes, native people who zealously guard the land, animals with dangerous magical powers. The closer Lucy gets to her goal the more dangerous and complicated her world gets. Will she find her father? Will she survive even as grown men are dying on this expedition? What exactly happened to the settlement of people on Devil's Thumb, the haunted outcropping of land where Lucy seeks her father? As the story expands, so do the pliot twists and mysteries.This is a rollicking adventure with a lovable heroine who is both prickly and serious, not afraid to push for what she wants.
Both boys and girls will enjoy this adventure story as will the parents lucky enough to spend their time reading this story aloud. I loved it and recommend it for all ages.

Dreamwood Heather Mackey 9780399250675 Books Reviews
In the vein of a number of novels written for a young adult audience but appealing to a much wider age range, Dreamwood was a joy to read for this middle aged mom. The level of detail and the crafting of the characters is pitch perfect. I enjoyed going on Lucy's adventure with her and look forward to more!
This review is written by my son Henry (age 9) "This is a very well-written story. What I liked about it most was that it was sort of like a cross between adventure, mystery, and fantasy. I couldn't put this book down until I had read it all. It was such a good book, I am praying for a sequel. I like the unusual relationship between Pete and Lucy they are not a couple; they are not really friends; they are not allies; they are somewhere in the middle of that mix. The twist at the end was so mind blowing, I don't even know what to say. In all, a very good book.
Lucy's adventure takes place in a different version of history with an indigenous population with its own truly autonomous lands and ghosts around us. The trek to the Dreamwood is engaging. Highly recommend for a variety of ages!
Heather Mackey weaves a wonderful tale with Dreamwood. Imaginative and beautifully written, the characters and story line are engaging. I found the book a refreshing change from insta-action books such as The Hunger Games. I liked how the pace of Dreamwood mirrored the pace of Lucy’s journey to find her father, increasing in suspense and making the story ever-more engrossing. I also loved some of the lessons that Lucy learns along the way—lessons valuable at any age. Beware of those who flatter you; they rarely have your best interests at heart. No one’s perfect; you don’t have to be right all the time. It’s OK to be vulnerable and admit when you’re afraid. It is truly a delightful book—one I look forward to reading and gifting again and again.
A thoroughly wonderful adventure yarn in the best classic sense -- and this grand adventure contains ghosts, shape-shifters, steampunk tools, malevolent boulders, and some of the best character names in a long time. A truly remarkable work of imagination. Read it to your kids, then read it again for yourself.
It's been over a month since I read this book, and I still think about it. It's a wonderful fantasy story (steampunk-ish) set in an alternate history. I like this other timeline. It seems like Native Americans were given more respect. I like the main characters because they are smart, but still human. There is definite character growth by the end of the novel. I really love the concept of wood having magical properties. (If I say much more about that, I'll probably be giving stuff away, and the book is too good to spoil it!) I can't remember any typos or misplaced or missing words, so if there were any, it was minor.
Dreamwood pulls readers into an "almost real" wilderness where 12 yo Lucy is determined to find her missing father and to cure a blight that's devastating the forest. Will the boy Pete--who offers to go with her--prove to be a help or hinderance? This friendship evolves in unpredictable ways. I love the way that science, spirit, and determined characters are woven together in a vivid setting the temperate rainforest. There are villains, ghosts, and magical powers that will appeal to fans of HP. Would love to see more of Niwa, a First People's girl who befriends Lucy. This book will inspire and empower young scientists as well as those seeking a page-turning wilderness adventure. Dreamwood is not a place, it's a sacred tree, essential to this endangered ecosystem.
