Scribbler of Dreams is about a girl Katilyn who goes to a new school and meets a boy named Bram. They fall in love and start to go out. But then Katlyn and Bram find out something that would make their relationship end. Will they stay together or will they let their true love crumble like a cookie and pretend that it never happend.

This book I recommend to all the people who like and love romance novels. Once you pick this book up, you can't put it down. This book grabs you and puts you in the main character's place and you literally feel like you're in the story, and that it is happening to you. The auther, Mary E. Pearson, is a great auther and when you are done, you should read more of her love like rommance novels.

Summary: Scribbler of Dreams
Review: Have you ever felt the need to hide your identity to save a relationship with the person you love? Kaitlin Malone has been taught by her family to hate the Crutchfields. Many decades ago, Maggie Crutchfield and her sister had an argument that caused the Crutchfields and the Malones to hate one another. When Kaitlin's father kills Mr. Crutchfield, he is sent away to prison while his family must work hard to survive. Kait and her sister, Abby, begin attending the public high school and use their mother's maiden name, Hamilton, to hide their identity. Kaitlin meets Bram, a talented artist, and they fall in love. Kaitlin must learn to trust a person and a family that she was raised to hate. Will Kaitlin ever be able to tell Bram the truth?
Mary E. Pearson, a writer from southern California, uses dialogue and Kaitlin's journal entries to ensure the reader's understanding of the plot. Pearson also tells the story from Kaitlin's point of view in order for the reader to understand Kait's feelings. Although the events of the book are slightly repetitive, I think the novel has captivating twists that kept me interested until the final pages. I recommended this novel to girls, ages 12-16, who enjoy realistic fiction. I enjoyed the story immensely because the reader can really connect to Kaitlin. I think the most important lesson of this story is that a lie is never better than the truth, no matter what the situation might be.

Summary: The Scribbler of Dreams is great!
Review: This is a story of lies and a story of hate--passed down for generations--and the love that stands strong through it. It is a story of how you can only change one person at a time, and how you can't change the whole world as one. It is a romantic tale of Bram Crutchfield and Kaitlin Malone, born into two families bred to hate each other since their Great-Grandmothers (who happened to be sisters) started the fight many, many years ago. Since then, Kaitlin's father was sent to jail for murdering the father of Bram Crutchfield. But nobody knows what truly happened the night that Bram's dad died. Kait's dad says Bram's dad shoved him, he shoved back and Bram's dad hit his head on a rock. Five of the Crutchfield's employees said that Kait's father picked up a rock and hit Bram's dad twice on the head. But alas, as the Crutchfields paid the only witnesses, no one knows what really happened. Kait's dad says the Crutchfields lie; they say he lies.

* * *

When the two Great-Grandmother's parents died, they left them and their families a huge area of land. There were thousands (or at the very least, hundreds) of acres of it. It was split evenly between the two families; the Malones used all of their land for farming, while the Crutchfields opened theirs for development. As with everything the Crutchfields do, the Malones hated that the Crutchfields opened their land for malls and such. There was even a school, which was huge. But the Malones refused to go there, despite its cheaper entry price. The Malones preferred the private school, "Holy Trinity," even though they aren't particularly religious. However, the family can't afford Holy Trinity this school year, and so Kait and her younger sister Abby were forced to sign up at the school on the Crutchfields land. Once the sisters were there, they hardly ever talked. Kait meets a mysterious stranger at school and almost instantly falls in love. Soon after she realizes that he is, in fact, Bram Crutchfield, related to the family she is supposed to hate. He is also supposed to hate her, but he doesn't know that she is a Malone yet. She prepares to tell him everything on the nigh of his 18th birthday party. However, everything is ruined when a friend of the Crutchfields tells Bram who Kait really is. Bram leaves in a huff and his parents kick Kait out. Over the next several days, Kait tries to talk to Bram, but he doesn't listen.

Can true love prevail after all is said and done?

Or will Kait be left alone, forever depressed at Bram's departure?

Read the book to find out !!!!

Summary: A GOOD BOOK
Review: This was a very nice book with a good story line. it had that classic Romeo & Juliet/West Side Story theme. i, however feel this book could have been written better. the author repeatedly told us what kait was thinking. when most readers would have liked a little mystery. the author also portrayed kait as a weak-minded, feable person. it would have made a more interesting story if kait KNEW what she wanted, and KNEW how to stand up for her-self. but over all it was still a good book.

Summary: Well-Intentioned Scribbles
Review: Kait Malone has just started her senior Year at Twin Oaks High, a school owned by the "filthy rich" Crutchfields. The Malones hate the Crutchfields, and this century-old legacy of hatred has trickled down into the present generations, filling Kait with disgust for anything smelling of Crutchfields. But she falls in love with Bram, an artistic, sensitive boy who also happens to be a Crutchfield. What now?

Well, if you're Kait, you begin to travel through a well-intentioned story speaking in unrealistic dialogue. She and Bram immediately acknowledge their feelings for one another in awkward, preteen admissions. Bram quickly becomes the devoted lover, expressing so much saccharine-sweet devotion that I often wanted to gag. Outside of this, all we see of him is the artist, who quickly becomes swallowed up in the lover that overcomes him. As for Kait, I developed almost no sympathy for her as a character, and I grew tired of her constantly telling us exactly what she was thinking. I wish Mary E. Pearson had trusted the readers more to deduce what Kait was feeling; often she resorted to telling us instead of showing us that Kait was angry, or Kait was in love with Bram. Readers aren't stupid.

Yet Pearson set out to write a story about the effects of hatred, and in that respect she succeeds. She clearly shows how hatred that is passed on through families quickly engulfs their senses of self, and how seemingly normal people can harbor deep-seated emotions.

Overall, the book was decent enough. A good idea, but encased in heavy-handed writing about overly-sweet "love."
