An engrossing examination of the science behind the little-known world of sleep. Like many of us, journalist David K. Randall never gave sleep much thought. That is, until he began sleepwalking. One midnight crash into a hallway wall sent him on an investigation into the strange science of sleep. In Dreamland, Randall explores the research that is investigating those dark hours that make up nearly a third of our lives. Taking readers from military battlefields to children’s bedrooms, Dreamland shows that sleep isn't as simple as it seems. Why did the results of one sleep study change the bookmakers’ odds for certain Monday Night Football games? Do women sleep differently than men? And if you happen to kill someone while you are sleepwalking, does that count as murder? This book is a tour of the often odd, sometimes disturbing, and always fascinating things that go on in the peculiar world of sleep. You’ll never look at your pillow the same way again.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A twist you won’t see coming. A love story you’ll never forget. From the acclaimed author of The Notebook comes a powerful novel about risking everything for a dream—and whether it’s possible to leave the past behind. We don’t always get to choose our paths in life; sometimes they choose us. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugar After fleeing an abusive husband with her six-year-old son, Tommie, Beverly is attempting to create a new life for them in a small town off the beaten track. Despite their newfound freedom, Beverly is constantly on guard: she creates a fake backstory, wears a disguise around town, and buries herself in DIY projects to stave off anxiety. But her stress only rises when Tommie insists he’d been hearing someone walking on the roof and calling his name late at night. With money running out and danger seemingly around every corner, she makes a desperate decision that will rewrite everything she knows to be true. . . . Meanwhile, Colby Mills is on a heart-pounding journey of another kind. A failed musician, he now heads a small family farm in North Carolina. Seeking a rare break from his duties at home, he spontaneously takes a gig playing in a bar in St. Pete Beach, Florida, where he meets Morgan Lee—and his whole life is turned upside-down. The daughter of affluent Chicago doctors, Morgan has graduated from a prestigious college music program with the ambition to move to Nashville and become a star. Romantically and musically, she and Colby complete each other in a way that neither has ever known. In the course of a single unforgettable week, two young people will navigate the exhilarating heights and heartbreak of first love. Hundreds of miles away, Beverly will put her love for her young son to the test. And fate will draw all three people together in a web of life-altering connections . . . forcing each to wonder whether the dream of a better life can ever survive the weight of the past.

Robert Parrish’s childhood obsession with series books like the Hardy Boys and Tom Swift inspired him to become an author. Just as his debut novel becomes a bestseller, his relationship with his girlfriend, Rebecca, begins to fall apart. Robert realizes he must confront his secret demons by fulfilling a youthful promise to solve a mystery surrounding his favorite series—the Tremendous Trio. Guided by twelve tattered books and an unidentified but tantalizing fragment of a story, Robert journeys into the history of the books that changed his life, hoping they can help him once again. His odyssey takes him to 1906 Manhattan, a time of steamboats, boot blacks, and Fifth Avenue mansions, but every discovery he makes only leads to more questions. Robert’s quest intertwines with the stories of three young people trying to define their places in the world at the dawn of a new and exciting century. Magda, Gene, and Tom not only write the children’s books that Robert will one day love, together they explore the vibrant city on their doorstep, from the Polo Grounds to Coney Island’s Dreamland, drawing the reader into the Gilded Age as their own friendships deepen. The connections between the authors, their creations, and Robert’s redemptive journey make for a beautifully crafted novel that is an ode to the children’s series books of our past, to New York City, and above all, to the power of love and friendship.

Dreamland's guardian, Cygnus, calls on Barbie to protect this magical paradise. The magic of Dreamland comes from the three Dream Crystals that are lost. It is her job to find them. Barbie starts her trip with a purse full of stardust and an unknown map. She goes on a journey through the Whispering Woods, where the trees tell her secrets. To find the Dream Crystals that are hidden there, she has to answer puzzles. Barbie will have to show how brave and dedicated she is when she jumps into the Enchanted Lake to find the last crystal.

When Barbie goes back to her quiet small town, she grows into a kind and inspiring person. Kids and adults alike are inspired by her adventures in Dreamland and how she lives out these ideals to enjoy the beauty of dreams and grow the traits of bravery, kindness, and curiosity. At the end of the story, Barbie is still Dreamland's keeper. She watches over its wonders and makes sure that people will love them for many more years. She closes her eyes and dreams of Dreamland all the time because she knows that the fun things, she did there will always be a part of her. "Barbie's Magical Adventure in Dreamland" shows how powerful dreams, kindness, and bravery can be. It reminds us that the world is full of amazing things just waiting to be found by people who believe, and that the keys to amazing experiences and lasting memories are inside our hearts. Story Begins: Barbie was a little girl who lived in a cute little town. People knew her for having beautiful golden hair, bright blue eyes, and a kind heart. Barbie stood out among the simple homes and friendly neighbors in the town as a symbol of modesty and purity. Barbie had golden hair that fell down her back in waves that sparkled like a river of light. As the light caught on her and turned into a beautiful halo, she looked like a living, breathing sign of hope. Her bright blue eyes sparkled with interest, like two sapphires watching over the secrets of the world. But what made Barbie different from the other kids in town was her heart. She had a giving heart that touched everyone she met. She could make anyone feel special and better, even on the worst days, with her kind words and warm smile. It was Barbie's job to show that even in a world that seemed rude and rushed, good manners could still win. The one thing that made Barbie different, though, was something that not many people knew about her: she could go to Dreamland, a magical world that appeared only in her dreams. The hamlet would go to sleep every night, and Barbie's travels would begin. Dreamland was a place where dream rules did not apply. It stretched out in front of her like a beautiful tapestry in her thoughts. It was a world where the trees whispered secrets and the animals spoke in riddles and wisecracks. The sky was purple and turquoise. In Dreamland, Barbie can be anyone and go anywhere. It's a place where anything is possible and where the soul can find comfort. Her adventures at night were amazing. She would soar through the sky on a shiny dragon, feeling the rush of freedom in her blood as the wind pulled her hair back. She would have tea parties with rabbits that could talk. The rabbits' laughter would sound like a happy symphony in a field of brightly colored flowers. She liked to wander around in beautiful forests where streams sang lullabies to long-lost hopes and trees whispered stories of past adventures. Barbie, on the other hand, found the animals in Dreamland to be very interesting. There was Lumina, a pretty fairy whose wings sparkled like stars at dusk. She would teach Barbie about the night sky by telling her stories about constellations and the music that the stars played. Nimbus, a sneaky cloud fairy who can change shape at will, came next. Nimbus could change into a dolphin to explore the depths of the dream seas or a kite to take Barbie high above the clouds. Barbie and Nimbus would go on exciting adventures together. She made new friends every night, and each one was more creative than the last. She laughed with kind giants whose hearts were as big as the sky, danced with fire sprites whose bright flames lit up the night sky, and talked with wise old owls who taught her ancient secrets.
