"The Boy Who Woke The Sun" is a Silver Birch 2024 nominee. I honestly didn't know what to expect from this book, and was incredibly pleased by what I found. This is the story of 11 year old Elliot, who lives near the ocean with his family. He loves the water and spends hours observing the creatures who live there. One night, Elliot finds himself awake in a dream world. A dream world where the sun doesn't rise anymore and butterflies have been enchanted to be evil. Elliot wants nothing more than to return home and must go on a dangerous journey with some new companions to find the way home. In doing this, he might also be able to help the dream world return to normal. This is an exciting and unique story. The dream world is very interesting complete with kitten ranchers, a robot, and magic. I recommend this book to those who enjoy realistic fiction and fantasy.
