Beyond Leyla’s Dreams

About Beyond Leyla’s Dreams

Leyla always believed there was more beyond the shores of Koubreet, the slowly sinking island she calls home, where the written word is a mere legend. On her sixteenth birthday, marked by the arrival of an unusual gemstone, Leyla sees an omen, a sign to seek new lands. Driven by a deep curiosity, she risks everything to explore beyond Koubreet, only to discover the magic of books and reading in her dreams. This revelation ignites a powerful hope that her long-held belief in other worlds, and the existence of knowledge, might be true. Mireille Sant masterfully crafts a compelling narrative about the quest for truth and the power of imagination.

To prove that these legendary books are real, Leyla embarks on a perilous journey, facing betrayal and uncovering unexpected truths that profoundly change her life and that of her best friend, Tars. As she fights for her islanders’ right to knowledge and is forced to trust what she cannot see, Leyla must confront her darkest moments. Will her dreams end, or will she find the courage to go beyond her wildest imagination? This captivating Young Adult fantasy adventure explores themes of discovery, resilience, and the transformative power of literacy, making it a must-read for young adults in Malta and Gozo.
