Twenty-eight modern speeches for boys and girls. These monologues address subjects closest to children's hearts: pets, friends, parents, school, family, etc. Each is of a shorter duration, written as children speak, presented in a larger-type format, and accompanied by a lined worksheet. These speeches have been "memory-tested" in the classroom, and are proven winners for children with a theatrical bent. Perfect for classwork, auditions, and workshops.

Years ago twelve year old Charlotte Lynn was a Blood Dreamer and had powers that many were envious of. She kept a journal of secrets, and suddenly, she vanished into thin air. Her journal disappeared as well. In present day, Matt Vaisley is the new Blood Dreamer at fourteen years old. He is struggling to control his new powers, do his school work, and not lose his cool with some of his more annoying classmates. Charlotte's journal, thought to be gone forever, suddenly ends up in Matt's hands. Now Matt and his friends are reading the journals and discovering the clues Charlotte had left behind. With his need to solve the Charlotte's puzzle and prove that he can be just as powerful, Matt takes his friends on a journey through dragons, Fire Queens, and worlds full of magic.
