Everyone, children especially
This book has haunted the back of my mind for years. The idea of shared dreams, the haunting black and white image of the Ferris Wheel in the distance, and the word Stardust have popped into my head randomly over the years. I could never remember more, like the image of a dream chased away by morning. Very unlike the circumstances in this book, as it happens.

i've been asking people if anyone remembers this book for months and just found out about a group on goodreads called "What's the Name of that Book?" http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/185....
and it was solved within hours! how exciting. i'm going to check it out from the library and read it again soon. i remember it being really good.

I received this book as a gift. It has some interesting ideas in it. Certainly there's mystery, but the build-up to danger and the resolution didn't quite match in magnitude. For me, it was nice to read it through but it's not something I would return to again and again. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I were younger.

This is the book that started my desire to really read "big" books on my own. I remember being excited for bedtime so I could get back to reading this book using only the light that slivered through the door into my room. One day I hope to give this book to my children at the appropriate age.

Excellent read!!! I literally read the cover off of this book. Being that I remember the book AND cover more than 25 years later, AMAZING!!!

One of my favorite books as a kid. (This is a re-print. I think it had a different title when I bought it from Scholastic in school.) It was creepy and fascinating and I LOVED the ambiance the author set. It really fired my imagination. This author has a disturbing knack for throwing your center of gravity off just a bit. I’ve always wanted to spend a night in The Stardust motel. Perhaps “they” will contact me. ;)

I read this as a child, but it made quite the impression on me. I remember it creeped/freaked me out in some ways, but that I read it over and over. It is eerie but compelling.

This was pretty much my favorite book in the 4th Grade. I thought the ending could have been better in that it left me hanging. I think there should have been a sequel.

I got this at some school book fair. I guess it is Children's Sci-Fi. I remember even then it was weird. But it was short and interesting and as a child gave mild nightmares.

Another book I loved as a child. I loved the mystery aspect of it, and the suspense and drama. A 4th grade favorite. I'd recommend it to any kid.

I loved this book when I was a kid and came across it again recently. I'm reading it to my two children and they seem to love the mystery and suspense.

This book scared the behuffeez out of me as a kid but now I think it's awesome, and probably what sparked my interest in supernatural stories

This one I must have thought about a lot because I still have visual memories of her dream is describes. I really liked it.

I don't know, maybe it was the repeated use of the word "dumb" for the child who wouldn't talk, but this book irked me.
