The Cure For Dreaming

The Cure For Dreaming by Cat Winters, 352 pages


Olivia is a girl who wants to go to college and is interested in the suffragist movement.  Her father hates her ideas.  As a birthday treat, her friends take her to a hypnotist, Henri Reverie, and Olivia is hypnotized.  When her father finds out, he asks Henri to hypnotize Olivia into forgetting about her feminist ideas and to accept the world as it is.  While he does hypnotize Olivia, the effect is not quite what anyone expects. Olivia starts to see the world as it is, but does not accept it.  Unfortunately, she starts to see some people as monsters.  Desperate to get Henri to fix this, she starts to talk to him.  The two begin to get to know each other and hatch a plan that not only may help Olivia fix her problems with the hypnotizing effects but also with her life with her father and may help Henri fix some problems in his life also.  This was a great historical fiction book for teens.
