About the Book
At age 4, Lauren Chisholm declared she had the ‘most gorgeoustist, sparkly, friend in all the worlds, whose voice sounds like singing’. Her parents thought about taking her to a psychiatrist, in the hopes that Lauren would forget all about her ‘favoritemost friend’. But they knew who she was talking about... and what she was talking about: an angel. Their only course of action was to tell Lauren that some things were pretend and most definitely… not real. They knew it was wrong, but they were unsure of how else to help her. Lauren was an earthbound human, and to fantasise about a world she would not be allowed to enter was just not acceptable to them.
Now, pandemonium is about to erupt.
Up in The Heavens, Ambriel, the angel of communications, is worried. He has discovered an anomaly in his Book of Mistdreamers; the Chisholm family had managed to slip through without registering years ago and are now in great danger. There is a Traitor at work.

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "I really enjoyed this book. The reader is pulled into the heroine's life immediately. Ms Valente's creation of the mistdreamer is a novel concept that takes you into new worlds, different realms, meeting angels and demons. The exciting story will have you desperate to turn the next page.[...]" - A Reader (Amazon)
- "I loved this book, I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. Kept me entrigued all the way through. Well done to the author cant wait for the next one. " - Lynn McDonald
- "[...] amazing imagination. This read was a total joy and would recommend to anyone with an interest in the afterlife, romance and the wonderful things that are our emotions and where they can take us as we walk this life on earth. " - L.E. Shepherd
- "[...] When Lauren was first introduced in the book, as a four-year-old who is torn between two worlds, I was immediately in love with her and felt a connection that is very important to me as I dive into a new 'book world.' Connecting with the characters is a must for me in order to truly enjoy reading. Ms. Valente definitely accomplished that connection.
As the book continued and the different worlds were revealed, she kept my interest alive with the roller coaster ride between them. As Lauren struggles to understand and then access her Mistdreaming abilities, I guarantee that you will hold your breath for her, cheer for her, even pray for her if that is your thing.
With a truly unique cast of characters and a story like no other, I definitely recommend that you start reading this book--but only if you enjoy being truly entertained." - MG (Amazon)
