Good afternoon everyone I hope you’re having a good Sunday. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Dream Hunters by Nazima Pathan this week.
I love sharing books with my kids at bedtime and my eldest kid loves books involving magic – he still has a major book hangover from finishing the Harry Potter books . I’m therefore very excited to read this book with him very soon.
Huge thanks to Rhys from Simon And Schuster for sending this to me.
Out 1st August 2024

Does anyone have any recommendations for books similar to Harry Potter for a 12 year old boy who loves magic?
Book Synopsis:
Set in a fantasy, reimagined India where dreams can be captured and bottled, a young girl adventures to save the king and rescue her parents.
Twelve-year-old Mimi lives with her Aunt Moyna in a centuries-old Citadel where she studies the ancient practice of making, capturing and recycling dreams. The Citadel was once run by Mimi’s parents who have been imprisoned by the king, accused of treason.
When Mimi spies a royal visitor, she uncovers a plot to transform the Citadel from a place of gentle, healing dream craft and a dangerous plot – the crown prince is purchasing nightmares from her aunt to poison the king.
With only her dream creature, Lalu, and her best friend Rafi, Mimi must escape the Citadel and begin a perilous journey across India. There are few people she can trust, but saving the life of the king and foiling her aunt’s scheme is in Mimi’s hands alone…
