I loved the value the author placed on innocence and purity throughout the adventure without being heavy handed. It an action filled story with highly likable characters and some very interesting concepts. I would recommend this for young adults. I loved the imagery and would love to be able to be human and fox, or be friends either the noble elven people as Elliot did in the story. There is a deep reverence for nature and a simpler, kinder way of living. There is intrigue, romance, suspense, and action in this book… something for everyone. Very good book.

About the author
A tale of magic, adventure, and most importantly finding one’s self.
Every part of the plot was fast-paced and well written, making the book a very enjoyable read. I usually easily foresee plot twists, but DANG. All the plot twists in this story caught me by complete surprise. The world building is beautiful and magical, and never monotonous. It describes the world in such a way that you can imagine it, but is detailed just enough that your mind can see it in its own way. Every time I opened up the (e)book I was completely immersed and felt like I was right there with Elliot. Go do yourself a pleasure and read Dream Scout as soon as possible.

This is a stand alone book, although you can read it along with Songspinner. It's hard for me to write a review because I want to tell you everything that's wonderful about this book, but then it would just be one big spoiler! I love this author's writing style--I felt like I could see, smell, and touch everything Elliot did. The world building is fabulous. I ate up all the twists and turns of Elliot's path. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting new, complex characters that I really hope get their own books, or at least short stories someday. The lovely sketches of the characters and settings help me visualize the world of the Grove and Cerion even better--I wish more YA books had illustrations like these! If you enjoy magical forests, fantasy, or coming of age romances, you will love Dream Scout!
A beautiful fantasy with a satisfying ending

Absolute Masterpiece
Missy Sheldrake has truly created a masterpiece in her prequal novel to her magical series ‘Keepers of the Wellspring.”Jennifer ClaireAbsolute Masterpiece

In this edition the reader is invited in to see from the perspective of Elliot, a young wood elf with the gift of shifting into a fox at will. Through Elliot’s story the reader is able to join in his journey to find purpose, love and friendship in paths he never believed would be open to him. His personal journey is made even more challenging as his scouting gifts allow him the rare ability to journey outside the borders of the grove, and once he does he finds himself increasingly drawn to a human girl and away from the peaceful discipline of the grove he adores.
I fell in love with the world Missy has created even more than I have ever before, and a lot of that comes down to her portrayal of Elliot. His growth through the novel was perfectly written and I found myself feeling all the emotions he does as he learns the reality of the world he lives in.
I would completely recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy or who is looking to explore the genre. What makes Missy’s work even more extrodinary is her ability to write a story for all ages, while this is a young adult novel I felt the supense and the plot were fitting for an older audience of all ages. There’s love, power, action and anticipation, perfectly balanced in the most thought provoking ways.
Lastly scattered throughout the novel is the most amazing artwork created by Missy herself, which pulls the reader further into her world and the characters she has created. If it isn’t on your to be read list yet I urge you to add it immediately, you will not be disappointed in the slightest.

Ya epic fantasy what's not to love 😍
Dream Scout is part of the his majestys elite series along with the companion book Song Spinner, both of which can be read on its own without spoilers, but also helps bridge the gap with some questions you may have had in book one. His Majesty’s Elite is a prequel series to the Keepers of the Wellsprings series, and can be read before, during, or after the main series.Thorn_n_thistle_readsYa epic fantasy what's not to love 😍

I was so excited to dive into this book and learn more about Elliot, I always wondered what life as a Dream Scout, who could turn into a fox, was like (having met him in #KeepersoftheWellsprings) and I was glad to find I wasn’t disappointed. We got a great mix of magic, sorcery, royalty, and romance while reading and I especially loved the connection to nature throughout. I loved Elliot’s growth throughout the book; the insight into his relationship with his family, the Grove, how he marvels at the outside world, and how all of this impacts his choices and actions as we see him realise things aren’t quite always as they seem. And now Elliot must make sense of what he thought he knew and decide his own path…….
Missy has a magical way with words that as the reader I can’t help but be enchanted. These books have some of the best world-building I have ever read. Missy weaves together multiple layers, between The Grove and The Known Lands and its predecessor, giving us a unique tale of a Wood Elf trying to find his place in the world.
I can’t not mention the audio. Penny’s voice for Elliot is perfection! After listening to the first few chapters, I can’t wait to fully re-read the book via audio.
No matter what book you start with in Missy’s world I assure you, you won’t be disappointed.
