Books with title River of Dreams

This is a poetry book written by Amir Keyhan Almir, during his mid-years of high school. It details a mix of love and lovesickness, mystery, misfortune, grief, sadness, and confusion. Due to the overwhelming feeling of these emotions, he was inspired to write about it. That way, he was able to describe in depth what he feels about his surroundings. The title Dreams of Dreams refers to dreaming about what one has always desired to accomplish in their lives.Note: pictures of the book in the reviews section from 2019 are different from the current format. The book has been modified since release, and is now 6" x 9" compared to 8.5 x 11. :)

Being a child is such a vulnerable, powerless state. . .at least, during the day. At night, you enter the world of dreams, and all bets are off. Rosie, the intrepid heroine of Rosie’s River of Dreams, no doubt suffers from the impotence of childhood, yet in her dream she faces the fear of falling, a run-in with snotty mermaid princess, and even hairy green monsters with pluck and bravery, bending her dream to fit her will.

When 13-year-old Gary McDonald plays hockey on his backyard rink, anything seems possible — even one day playing in the NHL. But Gary is small for his age, and, bullied by teammates and threatened with expulsion by his coach, he's finding his first year of bantam hockey tough. With hockey going nowhere and his mother and father separated, the only positive things in Gary’s life are the arrival of the New Mexico Snow Dogs’ farm team and his new friendship with Dmitri. But Dmitri’s brother soon gets involved with the Russian mafia, and the Snow Dogs consider leaving for a bigger city. Gary wonders what's next. Nancy Russell thoughtfully explores the tumultuous world of a beleaguered boy determined to beat the odds.
