Gossamer is an awesome book!
Gossamer is a really good book but also a little bit sad. There are a few laughs in it. I really enjoyed it.

pretty good, actually
it was a good book, in my opinion. I can't understand why common sense media only gave it three stars. I felt bad for the boys mom, because she loved her son and she really wanted him back. I would recommend this book to people nine and up.

Fun, just don't do a report on it!
This book is pretty good, when I was in 6th grade, we did a book report on it. The book itself was very good, but the report made it tedious and dry, but I learned new things that I didn't know about the author and the inspiration of Gossamer.

I liked this book a lot. I thought it had a good message and had a very good ending. It is a short book so you can read it pretty fast.

Not Magical, in a Fantasy Sense
I loved this book. Yeah, it's not extremely interesting or magical, but it's the idea that's good. I would've expected better from such an idea, and Lois Lowry.

hmmmmmmm.......
This book reminds me of somethin I read in 3rd grade. I do not remember what it was called, but it had some of the same stuff. Ghostly dream- givers. In all, this book, in a certain way, is quite cute. Littlest One (Gossamer) reminds me of typical, never- stop- asking- questions children these days. Although it is partially sad, looking through the young mother's eyes, it is a pleasurable book, and I think, at least when you are in Elementary school, you should read it.

enjoyable read for ages 8 - 14
Gossamer was a short book I enjoyed reading. The style of writing is interesting, switching from different points of view. It has a charming plot with an enjoyable, modest hero, and a subplot with deeper themes. Not exactly age-appropriate for a bedtime story for little ones, but a good read best for a 5th to 7th grader.

It wasn't actually all that good.
It was your typical cliche' everything's alright in the end novel. I wouldn't recommend it, but you might like it.

This is a really good book! For practically anyone 10+
This book is very interesting. I was only in grade school when I read this book, but its very unique! The book has two sides, one is a dream giving being, and the family in which the dreams are given. Though this book isnt good for young children (due to the writing style and concepts of dreams, nightmares, prphans, and rules of regular day life) children in upper gradesall the way to middle school and higher would be able to grasp the meaning of this book and really enjoy it. This is a really good book!!!! READ!!!
