Magic is real. Too bad it could kill him. Rafael knows that life can be capricious. But who would expect to wake up in the Dreamland? He is one of the magically gifted young people who are destined to become Guardians Of Dreamland. However, he has other plans for his life. One of the exclusive spots at the soccer academy is waiting for him. So, escape it is. Except his magic doesn’t seem to comply, he is caught in a web of deceit and betrayal, and a flight might not be the better option, after all. Furthermore, Centisom itself – the magical academy – seems to harbor dangerous, ancient secrets. If Rafael wants to survive, he must learn to navigate Dreamland’s treacherous magical world, dodge the bullies and learn to rely on new friendships. When the DarKNight arises and threatens to destroy the Dreamland, Rafael must redefine his loyalties. Soon, he’ll have to choose between his old life and embracing the ancient magic that could mean his death. Paperbook available Jan. 2020

Rafael is a soccer-loving, hard-working student who dreams of being a soccer star. But when bullies send him to the emergency room in a coma, he embarks on a journey to a new world and discovers he has gifts that will lead him on a whole new path in both realms.
In this complex, action-packed fantasy adventure, it's up to a group of chosen teens to uncover the mysteries of Centisom, their new home, and become the guardians of Dreamland. Thanks to his unparalleled gifts, Rafael is poised to become the leader and hero of this new world. However, he struggles with his love for his family as they are left mourning his comatose body with multitudes of questions left unanswered. Torn between two worlds and two families -- one that has stood by him his whole life and the other, a group of loyal friends he has longed for just as long -- Rafael must find the strength to save his brother by leaving his family.
Guardians Of Dreamland: Rafael & the magic DarKNight has so much for young readers to enjoy -- action and adventure, technology and video games gone live, evil teachers and unlikely allies. With a huge cast of interesting characters, imaginative worlds and relevant dilemmas, this book is a page-turner that will keep even the most astute readers guessing until the last page. I especially loved the quotes that open each chapter giving readers an intimate peek at the main character and his family. This is definitely an entertaining and fast-paced read.

Quite a fascinating and unique fantasy book
Rafael is a sweet, gifted child who excels in football. He is the frequent target of bullies at school and often gets pummeled.
His mother and elder brother Lennart keep watch over him but one day, he is hit so badly, he ends up in coma.
He awakens in a dreamlike state in another land called Centisom, a plane between Dreamland and Earth. Dreamland is the place where a part of the astral bodies travel to during sleep.
Centisom is a place where they train those astral bodies of children in coma (on Earth) as Guardians of Dreamland. One day on Earth equates to six months on Centisom when it is off the grid.
The in-house Guardians with Medeor Demetriu as headmaster, train the little children in subjects like
Knowledge, Manifestation, Nurturing, Maintain and Healing. Each child there is blessed with two gifts.
Rafael's first gift is of Manifestation (the ability to materialize anything and everything at will). His other gift shocks the Guardians so much, they swear themselves to secrecy.
Trees from Dreamland connect to the ones on planet Earth. However, due to the deforestation on Earth, Dreamland has developed hot spots and loss of connectivity.
Vicious enemies of dreamland in the form of Nightterrors and other foul creatures destroy the peace. How will Rafael along with his friends, Poppin and Maddox develop into Guardians themselves?
Will they be able to rescue dreamland against its downfall?

Rafael is a likable kid, though a lot of other kids around him don’t like him and pick on him. After an almost freak accident when a figure tries to push him in front of his neighbor’s car, and the only thing that saves him is her quick reflexes as she slams on her brakes, he knows something is up. He’s pretty sure it’s the bullies always picking on him. But then a knock on the back of his head sends him to Dreamland, and all sorts of adventures. The book ends on a wicked cliffhanger, that in my opinion is a bit more abrupt than it needs to be. Still, the story is fun and imaginative, and would appeal to kids who can relate to a hero who gets picked on but still has courage and pluck, and who enjoy fantastical adventures.
