Book Report: A Sanfranciscan Dream by Saad Aman

A Sanfranciscan Dream (A Dream, #1] by Saad Aman Sayyed

Six young friends, Heather, John, Aman, Zee, Tina, and AFN are stranded in San Francisco, their parents gone. Together they figure out how to work together and spend their time until they are able to get back to their respective homes. Instead of descending into chaos that would make Lord of the Flies look tame, they use their smarts to make sure they get out their situation intact.

Does this work? At times. Often things worked out but at times they had their squabbles. They couldn’t agree on everything, but decided to make the best of a rather daunting situation. I found it quite interesting how they handled themselves despite their tender ages. And some of the conversation among these young friends was quite funny and amusing.

However, I did find many grammatical and spelling errors. These errors were rather off putting as I read this story. I do feel if the author would have spent more time editing A Sanfranciscan Dream, or got some else to edit his book, the story would have flowed better.

Still, this book is entertaining and will probably appeal to young readers.
