The Dream Rangers - Book One: The New Cadets

"The New Cadets" is the first novel in what will be a multi-volume series entitled The Dream Rangers because it features a group of dogs that have been specially trained to be Dream Rangers: spirit guardians who enter the dreams of children afflicted with nightmares and protect the children from harm. A warm-hearted novel written for dog lovers from eight to eighty, "The New Cadets" tells the story of nine young dogs and their first days of training: how they are found as toy dogs by secret agents from the Bureau of Dreams, how they are brought to the mysterious and hidden Academy, how they are magically transformed into real dogs, and how they begin their formal training in the Academy. As the nine toy dogs learn to use their real bodies and grow into their roles as new first-year Academy cadets, they learn the importance of friendship, loyalty, devotion, service, selflessness, perseverence, dedication, and courage.
