Claire Voyante has a very unique life. Her parents are French; her little brother takes midnight walks; she has a couture grandmother, and her best friend is a condiment heiress. But the most extraordinary thing about Claire is her ability to have special black-and-white dreams that lead her on dangerous and exciting adventures. How can Claire manage high school, new friends, jealous rivals, a crazy family and these bizarre dreams? It's not until she comes across a magical cameo necklace that the mysterious truth starts to unfold.
Lauren Mechling's novel, Dream Girl, is a great mystery novel. Claire Voyante is a wonderful detective with her quirks and wit. She makes the plots interesting and exciting. The twists and turns of the novel are always surprising and enjoyable. Mechling develops each character with good supporting details, and I feet well acquainted with the characters. I like how the novel deals with issues of friendship and trust in a very entertaining mystery novel. Mechling introduces the "dream" as a clever mechanism to explain Claire's fantastic mystery-solving abilities. This makes me want to explore Claire's dream world again in a future novel!
