Littlest One, Fastidious, and Thin Elderly are magical creatures that come out at night to give sweet dreams to those that are sleeping. On a usual night Littlest One and Thin Elderly will collect memories from the old lady’s house and use them to give her sweet dreams throughout the night. One day a little boy named Johnny is forced to stay with the old lady to escape his abusive father. Littlest One and Thin Elderly recognize how sad the little boy is although he doesn’t show it. Sinisteeds do the job opposite of Littlest One and Thin Elderly, they bring horrible nightmares to people. Littlest One and Thin Elderly have to be brave and give Johnny and the old lady dreams full of sweet memories and thoughts before the nightmares are given to them. In Lois Lowry’s Gossamer the world around us as we are asleep is brought to life simply and beautifully. Gossamer is a very poetic book that will capture your attention and fire up your imagination.
