Book Review

Dream Factory by Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler

Ella and Luke are hired as character actors in the Magic Kingdom while there’s a strike. Ella fits the shoe (she plays Cinderella), while Luke can barely make the Dale (the chipmunk) head stay on. From the beginning, somewhere deep in their minds, there was a spark. They just didn’t fully realize it. Life, as it were, kept conspiring against them. Ella wasn’t ready to move on with her life after a loss, coupled with her parents moving. Luke wasn’t ready to grow up and work for the family behind a desk. Through these circumstances, they took refuge in the others company. But coming together wouldn’t be simple. A character named Foulfellow, some keys, and a double date, all play a role in this unexpected journey. Will the tale end in happily ever after?

This was probably one of my favorite books. I loved how it had two points of view in the same situation. It was an easy read and very interesting.
