In a world filled with music, star lore, and Shadow monsters, an 11-year-old daydreamer girl must master the musical language of the stars before all dreams are turned to nightmares. Will she risk her own memories to protect the dreams of others?

When daydreamer Adi is placed in foster care after being separated from her dying Gran, even the music she sees written in the sky and her new smarty-pants friend Rupe can’t keep her grief away. Nightmares peel off her bedroom walls and materialize, and Shadows pursue her. 

Once Adi and Rupe are chased into the magical kingdom of Dream Miners, where miners unearth dreams in the form of gems, Adi welcomes the escape. She feels at home, like she’s stepped into one of Gran’s stories. 

But Shadows taint the jeweled gardens blanketing the forest kingdom. Left unchecked, they are growing into a Darkness that will turn dreams into nightmares for children everywhere – unless Adi taps into her unpolished musical talent to stop it.
