Sienna Poem
Thanks for reading, my name is Sienna
Sienna Francesca Louisa McKenna
I went to Cloud 9 so I just had to share
How that came about, how I got to be there
From all of my visits I have pictures to show
Of the Dream Cloud itself and the island below
I’ll tell all I know but if you have time to spare
I do recommend that you spend some dreams there
Concept & Series Details
The Series
The series is written with the intention of a child growing as the story grows, starting off with simple poems introducing Sienna, her toys and the dreamworld characters she has met so far. Then there are simple stories told in verse becoming longer and increasing in complexity a little as the series progresses. By Book 7 the book is split between just two stories. The plot is more intense and the themes of teamwork and problem solving become a feature of the tales.
Book 1
Sienna introduces the Tuck-up Toys, The Dream Friends of Dream Cloud 9 and many inhabitants of the Isle of Dreams including fairies from all over the world and a new species of elf.
Book 2
Sienna introduces her pets and the Cul-de-sac Club, formed of kids from her street, their siblings, her brother Theo and all of their Tuck-up Toys. They join Sienna in her enchanting dream world.
Book 3
Sienna shares more stories when new children move into the street and become members of the Cul-de-sac Club. They also join in with Sienna’s nocturnal travels to Cloud 9 and the island.
Book 4
The Cul-de-sac Club meet some more new neighbours. They have exciting new adventures at the inland and coastal waters of the Isle of Dreams where there are plenty of new creatures and characters.
Look out for Book 5!
Sienna and Scarlett receive some good news. Some very interesting new characters arrive.
