Staff Pick of the Week: Dream Factory


This week's pick is Dream Factory by Brad Barkley & Heather Hepler (YA BARKLEY).

Disney World is supposedly the "happiest place on Earth," but as Luke and Ella soon find out, it is anything but. Hired for the summer to replace striking Disney cast members, Ella as Cinderella and Luke as Dale (as in Chip and Dale), the two teenagers grow tired of marrying Prince Charming every day (in Ella's case) and hanging out with Chip (in Luke's case). But Chip is played by Cassie, Luke's current girlfriend, and Prince Charming is Mark (or was it Matt?), a totally cute and completely forgettable Disney devotee. For the moment, it appears Luke and Ella are stuck in their respective roles. But management has devised a way to boost the summer replacement cast's increasingly sagging morale - a scavenger hunt of all things Disney. Cassie is determined to win and immediately choose Disney worshipper Mark to be her partner, which leaves Ella and Luke free to work with each other. Will Luke be able to see beyond Cassie's blonde and beautiful perfection? Will Ella be able to tell Luke what's really going on in her life? Find out in Dream Factory.
