Wait, what’s the book about again?

Fourteen-year-old Aria Loveridge lives at the Resthaven Home for Dreamslingers, a safe haven for children born with a genetic mutation that transports them to a magical realm while they sleep.

When the Kingdom of Royal Hanguk—home of the Dreamslinger League—announces the first Slinger Trials where teenagers from around the world are invited to compete for a chance to join the League, Aria knows what she must do: Join the Trials and take down the League from the inside. After all, they’re the ones who killed her mom.

But first, she’ll need to survive the Trials…

What kind of dreampanion would I have?

In the world of Dreamslinger, your dreampanion is your dream guide, and the missing third of your soul. They are super important, and can be one of 4 different creatures: a bloom dragon, a solar phoenix, a frost turtle, or a harvest tiger.

To figure out what kind of dreampanion you’d have, all you have to do is choose your favourite season. Winter? Spring? Summer? Or Autumn?

Once you’ve chosen, print out your applicable face mask. Glue it to some thin cardboard (cereal boxes work great), then attach it to a stick so you can hold it in front of your face. Tadaa - your face mask is complete! (Pssst, you’ll need it for the video activity below…)

What’s my dreampanion’s name?

According to the Royal League of Dreamslingers, your dreampanion’s name should be a partial anagram of your full name.

Eg: John David Smith’s dreampanion might be called Andi, or Nash, or Toad, or any mix of the letters in his name.

In the book, the protagonist Aria Love’s dreampanion is called Rio.

Have fun deciding your dreampanion’s name!
