Now most of us might have seen that as a red flag!Īddison is introduced to a strange building and even stranger happenings in this Academy that has promised her aunt to work on Addison's 'Manners and etiquette'. Through unseen forces, Addy's aunt comes upon the 'Red Dragon Academy' in Wales and immediately sets off to get her settled in the only boarding school that seems readily available at short notice to grant admission. As in a lot of stories, this relative is not prepared for the care of a child and is urgent to find a place that will take Addison so she might go on with her busy schedule. The story introduces us to Addison, a young girl from California who has lost her parents and is being 'taken in' by her last living relative from England, her mother's sister. They have hidden it among a normal boarding school (to pay the bills of course). This mother-daughter writing team has produced a great read for those having 'Harry Potter' withdrawal! They have created a boarding school for exceptionally 'talented' students who have yet to grow into their powers. All of whom may be in mortal danger from a terrifying tyrant who calls himself The One, in a land that seems a lot like Wales, but isn't. Is Addy really able to move between two worlds or is she finally cracking up? Dreamwalker is the first book in the Red Dragon Academy series and in it we meet Addy, as well as snooty Pippa, brainy Raj, cheeky Sam, serious Coby, shy Gwyllum and worldly Celeste-all who may have been brought to the school because of their special powers. Was it really only in a dream that she visited the cold palace and met the man who wants her captured? He calls her a dreamwalker and it seems that this is a special and dangerous power. Addy has always had vivid dreams but now these dreams are becoming frighteningly real and she has a hard time telling dreams from reality. Which other school has a sun-day when it's not raining? But when Addy stumbles upon a hallway that leads to a different and horrible part of the school she begins to have her doubts. At first the school seems okay, if a little weird. Addy Walker is a normal California surfer girl until her mother dies and her British aunt enrolls her at a boarding school called Red Dragon Academy in Wales.
