" This was an awesome book, but not too memorable. "

" I found this book had a slow start. However, toward the middle it picked up and I began to really enjoy it. There is a surprising twist about two-thirds through the book that I definitely didn't see coming. Overall, a nice read. "

" For anyone who is entranced by the potential power in dreams. Fletcher's vivid period imagery and her depiction of the three magi propped my mind up on the back of a camel and sent it a- wandering. "

" Listened to this one on time over an extended period of time, so may have missed some things, and because of that, I had a hard time getting into in at first, but ended up enjoying it. Though I really did not like the main character for most of the book, she was too obsessed with her blood line. "

Kiersten Robertson | 1/21/2014
" This is an interesting book. It takes place in ancient Persia. Where a young beggar girl named Myra is finding any way to make a living, when her younger brother starts dreaming other peoples dreams. Myra jumps at this chance to make extra coin so perhaps they can join their older brother. But dire things start hapening and who can tell where they will end up next. "

Sarah | 1/13/2014
" An ambitious re-telling of the story of the three wise men. She takes a familiar Biblical story, and somehow makes it feel surprising-- and universal. "
-




Nikki | 1/8/2014
" This is a gorgeous work of historical YA fiction--well-researched and well-written and rings true emotionally. "
-




Misty | 12/17/2013
" I thought this author had a creative perspective into the story of the Magi that visited Jesus. "
-




Luna | 11/8/2013
" E' sorprendente che sia classificato come lettura per ragazzi. E' davvero un libro molto scorrevole ma che fa riflettere sui valori della vita.... e non certo i ragazzi che hanno tutto davanti, ma secondo me chi dovrebbe rivalutare le sue scelte "

Brinlie Clark | 9/8/2013
" I thought it was a little odd. "
-




Molina | 5/12/2013
" It's an adventure with the wisemen seeking Christ--seen through the eyes of a young girl disguised as a boy and her younger brother who sees things in dreams. I LOVED it! didn't want to put it down. A great Christmas-time book! "
-

" Beautifully told, great Christmas story "

Autumn O'Shea Swan | 4/9/2013
" I had to read this for English in eigth grade and I wasn't expecting much. But it was so interesting and attention grabbing. I loved it! I loved how far she would go to keep her brother safe. "

" 3.5 stars. Slow at times, but this version of the tale of the Three Kings was really interesting. "

Ashley | 10/19/2012
" An interesting look into the story of the three wise men. "
-




Jessica | 10/17/2012
" This was a nice, easy read. It didn't jump out at me as a great piece of literature, but it was clean, well-written, and interesting. I finished most of it in one afternoon. "
-




Amy Carr | 3/19/2012
" I really enjoyed this book. Loved the setting, the time period, and the intrigue of the story. It is an unusual story and while there are some literary hiccups, it kept me involved and excited through the entire story! "
-




Kristi | 11/29/2011
" A tale of the Three Magi who journeyed to visit the infant Christ child. Told from the point of view of a 14-year-old girl who is a refugee. "
-




Jennifer | 11/22/2011
" I've always thought the Magi were an under-explored side of the Christmas story, so I was glad to find this book. I enjoyed the perspective, how someone not in the Biblical account was given a front-row seat and told the story from there. Very cool. "
-




Elisabeth P. | 11/11/2011
" This is about a girl whose little brother can dream about someone if he sleeps while holding a piece of their clothing. Some men try to take advantage of the two kids. It's also about the time leading to the birth of Jesus Christ. It's an interesting book. "
-




Lindsey | 5/6/2011
" I always wanted to know the story of the three wise men and this book sent me on a very imaginative and magical journey with them! I give it 3 1/2 to 4 stars.

Alexei | 5/5/2011
" I'm not much of a fan of middle East books.
"
-




Troy | 4/29/2011
" Not one of the more exciting YA novels I have read. If I would have realized that this was about a voyage to see baby jesus I most likely would have passed. Interesting concept about selling dreams was what intrigued me at first, but Fletcher didn't make the plot very exciting in my opinion.
"
-




Debbie | 4/11/2011
" An interesting glimpse into the time and birth of Jesus...an nice coming of age story.
"
-




Katie | 3/24/2011
" The storyline was not quite as strong as I had wanted. The title of the book confuses me somewhat, I am not quite sure what an alphabet had to do with the book.
"

" i loved this book! i listened to the audio version, which probably made it even better because it was dramatized. ive never actually read it.

Jennifer | 8/2/2010
