Summary from Goodreads:
Annabelle Manning
feels like she’s doing time at her high school in Chilton, Virginia. She has
her friends at her lunchtime table of nobodies. What she doesn’t have are
possibilities. Or a date for Homecoming. Things get more interesting at night,
when she spends time with the boy of her dreams. But the blue-eyed boy with the
fairytale smile is just that—a dream. Until the Friday afternoon he walks into
her chemistry class.
One of friends suspects he’s an alien. Another is pretty sure it’s all one big
case of deja vu. While Annabelle doesn’t know what to think, she’s willing to
believe that the charming Martin Zirkle may just be her dream come true. But as
Annabelle discovers the truth behind dreams—where they come from and what they
mean—she is forced to face a dark reality she had not expected. More than just
Martin has arrived in Chilton. As Annabelle learns, if dreams can come true, so
can nightmares.

“Dream Boy skillfully and creatively tackles the common theme of good and bad dreams coming alive.... The writing is tight and well-paced, and nicely balances action with Annabelle’s character development as she tries to unravel the mysteries of... her dreams. Her teenage voice is spot on: unsure of herself, but spirited, with a sarcasm that masquerades as confidence. The plot twists and moves in unexpected yet fascinating directions." -- The Roanoke Times

I’ve always been a dreamer. Daydreams. Night dreams.
Dreams of grandeur and dreams of escape. If I were an onion and you peeled back
the papery outside, you’d find layer after layer of eye-watering dreams. And in
the center, where there’s that little curlicue of onion heart? There’d be a
puff of smoke from the dreams that burned away.
It was all just brain waves, I thought—disconnected,
like the notebook that my friend Talon keeps. She draws a line down the middle
of the page; on the right she writes everything she remembers about a dream,
and on the left she puts notes about the stuff that’s happening in real life,
things that might trigger her subconscious. Reality on one side, dreams on the
other—a clear line between the two.
But it turns out there are no clear lines, just a
jumble of what is and what might be. And all of it is real.
