New Book Purchase: Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story

I pre-ordered this book last month and it finally arrived yesterday. Ever since Nia Nal a.k.a Dreamer appeared on the Supergirl TV series, she quickly became one of my favorite characters. And I can't wait to read this book, Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story by Nicole Maines (the actress who played Dreamer) and Rye Hickman. This book is the origin story of Nia and how she became Dreamer.

I know I buy a lot of books and then I end up reading them so much later. But for this one I'm going to try to move it up on my list so I can read it sooner. I just have a few books that I want to read after finally finish The Fever Code by James Dashner. I did recently buy From Twinkle, with Love by Sandhya Menon, I just forgot to post it.

Description:

The never before told origin story of DREAMER: the first trans superhero ever to appear on TV!

Nia Nal’s spent her whole life taking a back seat to her older sister, Maeve, who’s expected to inherit their mother’s Naltorian powers––the ability to see the future through dreams. They’ll soon learn the dreaming powers had other plans…

When Nia’s hit in the face with a kickball, the powers that weren’t meant for her are suddenly triggered. Saddled with guilt, Nia resolves to suppress her powers in an attempt to protect her relationship with her sister. But Nia can’t keep the dreams out forever…

From Nicole Maines, the actress, activist, and writer who originated the role of Dreamer on the groundbreaking Supergirl TV show, and with stunning art by Rye Hickman that captures Nia’s fan-favorite personality, comes the origin story of a girl who must accept her own power to fulfill her destiny in a long lineage of female superheroes. Luckily, Nia won’t have to go through it alone.
