I used to think the supernatural world was a myth. Shapeshifters, demons, werewolves, vampires? No way were they real… Well, I’m here to tell you they are. They simply aren’t what you think. You probably face them every single night when you dream, but when you wake, it’s all a blur.

According to him, it’s the true name for la la land and where we all go when we dream. He claims he and his shapeshifter brothers send dreams to humans to help them cope with life. He also claims I agreed to help him break a curse keeping him imprisoned in the dream realm.Thing is I don’t remember him. In fact, I think he’s crazy, even though he’s crazy sexy, but I’m trapped with him and will do anything to find a way out. The only problem is I’ve done something really stupid, and now the Erobos are after me. If Seth’s right, these guys not only send nightmares, they can steal a person’s soul.

A schoolteacher, principal, amateur historian, and avid lover of the Mississippi River, Ruth Ferris (1897-1993) was a singular steward of St. Louis’s maritime heritage. Her lifelong love of the Mississippi and its riverboat culture spanned over seventy years, encompassing research, photography, excavating sunken vessels, collecting artifacts, and forming friendships with other river enthusiasts. Although too few people know her name, Ferris was deeply involved with multiple venues dedicated to telling the story of St. Louis’s inextricable link to this great river: the now-defunct Midship Museum, which was housed aboard a restored steamboat; the Pott Inland Waterways Library at the Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri–St. Louis; and the Missouri Historical Society’s River Room.​Ruth’s River Dreams tells the story of Ferris’s childhood, when she first became captivated by the Mississippi River, its riverboats, and the stories told about and aboard those boats. Along with her curatorial accomplishments, Ferris was also an accomplished artist, and Ruth’s River Dreams weaves a number of her woodcuts and drawings into its narrative of a young girl with big dreams. Appropriately, this book is geared toward early readers (from preschool to third grade), filling a crucial gap in literature about the Mississippi written for children who are not quite ready for Mark Twain. Elizabeth A. Pickard’s lively book promises to inspire a new generation of young readers, sparking in them the same love of St. Louis’s colorful waterways that guided Ruth Ferris throughout her life.
