Orphan Dreamer and the Glass Tattoo (Orphan Dreamer Saga, #2) / Orphan Dreamer Saga (ePub)

". . . a sprawling nonlinear narrative." ―Kirkus Reviews

Told in the style of the hit TV show, THIS IS US, the ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA is a modern-day retelling of ANNE OF GREEN GABLESmeets THE DA VINCI CODE.

Author J. Nell Brown―a New Release Top Ten Bestseller in Children's and Young Adult Fantasy (Time-Travel Fiction)-takes readers on a journey that defies time, from 1018 B.C. to a future of what-ifs, in the first full-length novel of the series: ORPHAN DREAMER and the GLASS TATTOO.

In ORPHAN DREAMER and the GLASS TATTOO, Daniela Rose―a preteen and Earth's newest kick-butt Indiana Jones―must come to terms with her destiny, avoid getting committed to the psychiatric ward, endure nightmares about a mysterious boy, deal with the mean girls at school, and save the world by traveling to the past to uncover clues hidden before the dawn of time.

You know, typical middle school drama.

Not even!

Especially for an awkward thirteen-year-old girl with knobby knees, curly hair, brown skin, and nosebleeds. She's certainly no one special in the eyes of her classmates, who either bully or ignore her.

Before realizing her destiny, Daniela had only two quests in life: become the youngest medical student at her dream school and find a kindred spirit.

However, her destiny has already been decided-and it doesn't include friendship bracelets.

After her thirteenth birthday, Daniela must juggle going to school, caring for her ill father, and solving an ancient puzzle that will protect her friends-and enemies-from a dark, biblical-sized force. One that seeks to eradicate humans from Earth.

Will Daniela stop fighting for the kindred spirit her heart is destined for-leaving him unprotected and doomed to certain death?

Or will she rise to the challenge and meet her destiny head-on when a twist of fate alters the destiny of an orphan boy and the future of humanity?

If you knew your ending, how would you have lived your beginning?

One snowflake falls from heaven to quench hell's thirst. I am that snowflake. I am Daniela. I am the Orphan Dreamer destined to quench the hellish reality of an orphaned boy that I've never met.
