Blue is for Nightmares

Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz

Stacey has been having nightmares of something horrible happening to her roomate, Drea.  Even worse for Stacey is that the nightmares are accompanied by bed wetting.  Stacey uses the spells handed down to her by her grandmother to help make the nightmares clearer.  At the same time, Stacey is falling for Drea's old boyfriend. 
The teens aattend a boarding school.  There is very little adult interaction with the kids.  The story was fun and fast to read, but lacked any depth.  By the end, it really fell flat for me.  I didn't think the reason for Drea being threatened, and for the nightmares, held a lot of water.  There were no adults or authority figures to help or guide, which seemed a little off.  Also I felt like some of the language was strong for the target audience.

Rating 3 Fun fluff
Rating PG 13 Language and sexual situatuions
