"Soul Drifter" by Lynette Ferreira is an interesting work of fiction.The tale is constructed with a YA audience in mind and it slots nicely into the 'teen/paranormal/adventure' wing of this genre. Being a lifelong fan of this type of story I eagerly added it to my Kindle TBR list.Our heroine, Gaby (Gabriella) is an internet savvy thirteen year old, with an annoying younger brother, a sometimes exasperating mom (Sara) and a cheery 'whistle while you work' morning person dad, Gabriel, whom she is named after.Gaby is decidedly not a morning person, in fact her most interesting adventures in this story happen while she is fast asleep! Gaby's dream life is as 'real' as her waking hours, in fact she sometimes prefers her dreams.As our story opens her dreams have been turning darker and Gaby is starting to worry, both about her vivid dream experiences and the fact that her body seems 'abandoned' and stiff when she wakes. Her parents are not much help so she reaches out (via the internet) and begins to learn just how special and unique her 'talent' may be.Her burgeoning journey of self discovery is abruptly interrupted however by sudden and distressing news; her beloved grandma in Australia has had a stroke! The story picks up pace from there as Gaby and her whole family rush to be by her side. Gaby's dreams grow even more intense and the chaos and tension between her dark dreams and her waking nightmares carries us thru to this tales' somewhat muddled conclusion.I gave this story a rating of three stars, mostly due to the somewhat chaotic plotting and the lack of any significant character development of any of the other people in the story besides Gaby herself.
