The Dream Bearer
by Walter Dean Myers

David Curry doesn’t know what to make of his father, Reuben, whose violent out bursts and chilling nightmares torment his family. His older brother, Tyrone, says Reuben is crazy. But lately, even Tyrone isn’t acting like himself.

Then David meets the mysterious Mr. Moses, who tells him that dreams might be the only things we have that are real. And it is Mr. Moses’s gift of dreams that gives David a new way to see inside his father’s troubled heart.
