I wish I had a friend, just one friend who would listen. I wish I could write a story, just one story I could finish. I wish everything could be like it was last summer. On her first holiday with her dad since her parents split up, Lucy is unhappy. Even her talent for writing stories has deserted her. But Lucy's wishes are answered when a strange being called Sharni comes from outer space to bring colour back into her life. Dreamstone is a magical story of adventure, friendship and dreams that come true. This is a gorgeous book with excellent illustrations for everyone age six and up! A must-have on the bookshelf for everyone of every age! The Launceston Examiner Smith's writing for children is wildly inventive and a delight to read. David Cowan, Western Australian.
