This was beautifully done I looked at the main character uses his imagination to help cope with the challenges of everyday life. It's a very realistic thing that kids do. I enjoyed the way the characters were written, And was invested in this cast of characters. The story was really well done. And I enjoyed how it was written. Both the real world and the fantasy world worked for each scenario. And I thought it was a really good job. Rob Cameron has a great writing. S able to make characters that were believable and enjoyable.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review, which follows.

Daydreamer feels a lot like the title. As in, you're walking with someone through a daydream and watching everything that they do - which may be a bonus for young readers who enjoy very, very close POV. At times, the story was disorienting because I was so close to Charles character that others that interrupted threw me completely off. I had a hard time navigating when he was in school, at home, in a dream.

I would have liked the story a lot more if I had more chances to walk around with the plethora of magical creatures. Many of them seem to make a cameo and not return, or when they are I wasn't sure what the purpose was. There is a lot of amazing dreamy nuggets of wisdom, which are sometimes well done and sometimes come off a little strong.
Overall not bad for a debut, and I look forward to Rob Cameron's imagination and more books by the author.
