THE DREAM-MAKER'S MAGIC was an enjoyable read, light and funny.

In the story, Kellen Carmichael's mother insists that she gave birth to a boy and then that boy changed into Kellen.

This story shows how Kellen learns to deal with her mother's stubbornness and makes new friends. She learns to be herself and to not worry about what others think.

This story has a fascinating plot and a surprise ending. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone.

This is a sweet, serviceable young adult novel. Shinn's writing style suits the genre, featuring long passages telling the story and no real action/fantasy set-pieces to liven things up, and the characters she introduces here are fine, but not particularly memorable. The novel moves quickly and fairly gracefully, and is really marred only by the too-neat tying up of loose ends that undercuts the interestingly hard emotional revelations of earlier passages. Still, it is unfortunately not a novel I will remember long.
