  16. This book is about a boy named Sam who turns eleven. On his eleventh birthday Sam talks about how he has a dream. I didn't understand what the author was talking about how he has the dream. Just that it was scary and he was in a different world. when Sam was looking in the attic for his presents he saw papers that were confusing. When Sam has the dream he keeps seeing eleven in them because he is afraid of turning eleven. The setting was very confusing and all over the place. i thought this book was confusing and would not recommend it to people who are thinking of reading it.
