Laurie Faria Stolarz's widely-popular novels-Blue is for Nightmares, White is for Magic, Silver is for Secrets, and Red is for Remembrance-are now available in a boxed set! Stolarz's pitch-perfect dialog and fast-paced storytelling have made these four suspense thrillers into huge hits for teens, with over 200,000 sold collectively.
The engaging heroine of this remarkable series is Stacey Brown. A typical teenager, Stacey has the usual worries, like getting good grades and falling in love. But she is also a hereditary witch who is blessed-or cursed-with a gift for prophetic dreams. When danger strikes, Stacey depends on folk magic, good friends, and her wits to escape the peril foretold in her nightmares.
More Reviews and RecommendationsLaurie Faria Stolarz (Massachusetts) has a great interest in young adult culture, and admires young adults for their passion, energy, and creativity. Blue is for Nightmares is the product of her desire to write a novel that would have appealed to herself at that age, namely one that has a blending of suspense, romance, and the art of keeping secrets.
Stolarz has an MFA in Creative Writing with a concentration in Young Adult Literature and a graduate certificate in Screenwriting, both from Emerson College in Boston. She currently teaches writing and is a member of the SCBWI as well as several professional writing groups. She has also written and edited numerous middle school and high schools texts.

June 26, 2009: The "Blue is for nightmares" series was interesting. it has romance adventure and a little bit of edge to it. The writing wasn't that great. but the characters were cool. i would have to say the last book to this series is the one that said "okay i have to write another book lets just get is over with" so it lacked alot from the other books in the series.
