The Dark Dreamweaver (Remin Chronicles)

This fantasy-adventure series appeals especially to children who enjoy books like The Wizard of Oz and The Chronicles of Narnia, and look for a modern setting and characters they can more closely identify with. In The Dark Dreamweaver, a boy named David travels to Remin, the land of dreams, with a cursed Monarch caterpillar wizard as a guide. There, he must use his courage, his intelligence, and his imagination to save two worlds. The Dark Dreamweaver has won several awards, including the Mom's Choice Award, the iParenting Media Award, the Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom award, and it was a finalist in the Benjamin Franklin awards.

Nick Ruth didn’t set out to be an author when he sat down to write The Dark Dreamweaver; he was just looking for a way to connect with his son. The two share a love of reading, and Nick decided to surprise his son with a personalized story. What started out as a short story grew into a 224-page book that has won awards and attracted fans around the country.

Nick lives in Baltimore, Maryland, where he works as a computer programmer for the Social Security Administration. He and his family share their home with three cats and various other creatures, some of whom appear in The Remin Chronicles in various guises. In his spare time, Nick enjoys reading, playing guitar, and writing music.
