Rosebud Dreamworld (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662975660)

Rosebud Dreamworld is a compelling coming-of-age novel that blends literary storytelling with elements of the supernatural.

Fourteen-year-old Raif Williams has left school behind to work at his family's junkyard-an unusual place filled with strange machinery and lingering mysteries. Haunted by the disappearance of his father and unsure of what is real, Raif is drawn into a journey that takes him through forgotten cemeteries, underground waterways, abandoned dwellings, and dangerous neighborhoods-all leading to a mysterious lake that may hold the truth he's been searching for.

As Raif confronts grief, friendship, first love, and the harsh realities of the adult world, he must also face deeper questions about identity, memory, and destiny. What begins as a search for answers becomes a transformative journey toward understanding himself.

Thoughtful, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant, Rosebud Dreamworld will appeal to readers who enjoy introspective, character-driven young adult mysteries.
