Summary from Goodreads:
Annabelle Manning feels like she’s doing time at her high school in Chilton,
Virginia. She has her friends at her lunchtime table of nobodies. What she doesn’t
have are possibilities. Or a date for Homecoming. Things get more
interesting at night, when she spends time with the boy of her dreams. But the
blue-eyed boy with the fairytale smile is just that—a dream. Until the Friday
afternoon he walks into
her chemistry class.
One of friends suspects he’s an alien. Another is pretty sure it’s all one big case of deja vu. While Annabelle doesn’t know what to think, she’s willing to believe that the charming Martin Zirkle may just be her dream come true. But as Annabelle discovers the truth behind dreams—where they come from and what they mean—she is forced to face a dark reality she had not expected. More than just Martin has arrived in Chilton. As Annabelle learns, if dreams can come true, so
can nightmares.

Booklist
“Five stars... Perfect writing, perfect characters … perfect plot.”
-- Paperback
Wonderland
“Dream Boy skillfully and creatively tackles the common theme of good and bad dreams coming alive.... The writing is tight and well-paced, and nicely balances action with Annabelle’s character development as she tries to unravel the mysteries of... her dreams. Her teenage voice is spot on: unsure of herself,
but spirited, with a sarcasm that masquerades as confidence.
The plot twists and moves in unexpected yet fascinating directions." --
The Roanoke Times
I’ve always been a dreamer.
Daydreams. Night dreams. Dreams of grandeur and dreams of escape. If I were an
onion and you peeled back the papery outside, you’d find layer after layer of
eye-watering dreams. And in the center, where there’s that little curlicue of
onion heart? There’d be a puff of smoke from the dreams that burned away.
It was all just brain waves, I
thought—disconnected, like the notebook that my friend Talon keeps. She draws a
line down the middle of the page; on the right she writes everything she
remembers about a dream, and on the left she puts notes about the stuff that’s
happening in real life, things that might trigger her subconscious. Reality on
one side, dreams on the other—a clear line between the two.
But it turns out there are no clear
lines, just a jumble of what is and what might be. And all of it is real.
