About this ebook

When 15 year-old Morgan is contacted by the advanced civilization of Lucid World, she has no idea what is to come. She is one of a select group of teens chosen to travel via avatar into a remote, and hidden technologically-advanced society housed inside a vast mountain cavern. Here she learns about an emotional disease called khaos, that has infected all of humanity. Her new friends in Lucid World live under a dome beneath an ice cap, with cats, culture, and a harmonious way of life uninfected by the khaos of the world above. Those living on earth now are in what they call Nosos World.

Shifting from Morgan’s family and school life to the education she receives in Lucid World, the story shows Morgan applying the understandings of khaos to problems in her life, and in the town. While Morgan’s everyday life in Coyote Flats continues to unfold, her family and friends have no inkling of her Lucid World contact. But when communication breaks down, Morgan’s secret is exposed.

A book with a sweet message of good will, compassion and understanding, LUCID WORLD was written for young adults but can be enjoyed by all ages.

Lucid World by Denise Lammi "Pray all who read this know they too can live in Shambhala if they open their hearts and their minds to love and happiness and reject unfounded fear." page 45 Saving the world with the power of sleep. That would be my favourite super power. Morgan does just that in "Lucid World" by Denise Lammi In order to save the world we all live in, people from the Lucid world teach Morgan how to stop Khaos from spreading. While she sleeps, Morgan's consciousness is brought to a secret land where people have been trying to stop khaos from killing the world for years. All bad things in the world come from khaos and it is up to people like Morgan in the real world to stop it. I enjoyed this book, the characters are realistic and it's an exciting read. Somethings seem to be over explained, but it all connects together at the end. Give it a try and I know you'll like it too.

The genre is unique. Much of the story takes place in a small prairie town. There are sci-fi and alternative history components along with adventure, humour and inspiration. With a teenage protagonist, Lucid World delivers an entertaining read for all ages. There are several interesting adult characters too. I especially liked how the author tied up everything at the end. In addition, the story delivers an important life message. All in all, a very satisfying read!

I'm the Author of LUCID WORLD. Since I'm likely biased (naturally), here's a sampling of reviews from Readers: >>>>>A Compelling Story - A positive look at how just one person can change a world. “Lucid World” is a great read that shows us how just changing your attitude can make a difference. It takes you from a world full of chaos to one where one person can make an incredible change in other people’s lives. This is a compelling story showcasing a teenager who discovers another world and a different way to think. >>>>>A Must Read for Young Readers - ‘Lucid World’ inspires and engages with the introduction of a brave and sparkling young female protagonist Morgan, dwelling in small town Alberta, while covertly engaging with another world. As I indulged in the enchanting characters in ‘both worlds’ and the rich sprinkling of the author’s life lessons, I saw the story come alive as a potential tv series. Reaching its final page, I felt both full and hungry for its sequel. A must read for young readers as they navigate through their challenging school years. A brilliant balance of depth and lightness, ‘Lucid World’ shares important teachings for readers of all ages and cultures. >>>>>A Teenager Balances Two Worlds - As Morgan drifts in dream to the surreal Lucid World within, she struggles to understand the “khaos” in her own world. Author Denise Lammi takes us on Morgan’s courageous journey as the teenager balances two worlds, family, friends and a host of interesting characters to find her way through the “khaos.” A lively, fun read. >>>>>Likable Characters - I love sci-fi fantasy and this is a great twist on the genre. It kept me engaged and wondering what was going to happen next. The characters were very likable and the story line intriguing. By the end I couldn’t put it down and I loved how it all came together. Thoroughly enjoyable! >>>>>Delights the Imagination - LW entertains, inspires and delights the imagination. As the characters came to life and the story unfolded, I found myself living in the story. At the end, I didn’t want to turn the last page. >>>>>Discussion/Lessons Provide Road Map for All to Live Their Lives - This is an interesting and well thought out book for the young and old alike. The discussion and lessons presented provide a good road map for all to live their lives. Add to this that it was entertaining - a win for all. >>>>>Bravo for this Work of Compassion and Goodwill! - What a delightful, insightful, absorbing set of plots Ms. Lammi cleverly weaves together in ‘Lucid World’. The characters were vivid and unique and it was a pleasure to meet each of them. There is a strong message in this book, disguised as wonderful piece of fiction. Order a copy for yourself and a few more for the young readers in your life! >>>>>Lucid World's Perspective is Positively Contagious! - Lucid World is an easy-read and enjoyable novel that effortlessly alternated from sci-fi to reality. I liked and related to a number of characters and found the novelist does an excellent job of interweaving messages and characters. Imaginary, interesting and a bit quirky, I found Lucid World's perspective to be positively contagious! I bought another copy and am looking forward to sharing this book with my teenage niece. >>>>>Enjoyable and Uplifting - Uplifting, quick moving and optimistic and shows the powers of the human mind and survival instinct. The story looses a bit of its pace by too quickly concluding in the final few pages. Enjoyable and uplifting reading.
