Dreamweaving

At Tanglewood Preparatory School, academic ambition and an impressive reputation conceal a history filled with secrets. For Deja Freeman, the school is more than a new place to study: it is where her mother once attended, and where the events surrounding her mother’s death still cast a shadow over her family. Deja comes from a family of women connected to a mysterious tradition of dreamweaving. Although her aunt has kept her outside this magical world, Deja’s arrival at Tanglewood brings her closer to the powers and dangers she was meant to avoid. Meanwhile, Tóbi Ẹkúndayọ̀, a highly accomplished student determined to become junior class president, begins having disturbing dreams that appear to connect with Deja’s experiences. As the two girls discover that their visions share clues, a missing student becomes the centre of an unsettling mystery. With help from an unlikely group of classmates, they must investigate Tanglewood’s hidden past and uncover what lies behind its carefully maintained reputation. O.O.
