Title: The Bookshop Between Two Dreams

Level: Advanced (C)

#Story :

Liam repeatedly dreams of a mysterious bookshop where a silent girl reads a silver-covered book. After forty-three nights, the dream becomes unstable, and the girl warns him that the dream is ending. When Liam wakes up, he finds a torn page from the dream world in his room with the message: “Find me before the dream ends.” Guided by the page, he discovers the real bookshop hidden in an old part of town. Inside, he finds the silver book completely blank—because someone has removed the page containing the girl’s true name.

Liam learns she is trapped between worlds, fading without her name. A shadowy guardian confronts him and warns that restoring her name will collapse the border between dream and reality. Despite the danger, Liam follows clues through the city and enters a mirror world, where he retrieves the missing page and discovers the girl’s name: Elara. Returning to the bookshop, he restores her name to the silver book, causing both worlds to merge. Liam learns he was originally created inside her dream, but by choosing her, he becomes real. In the end, he refuses to return to his old life and becomes a bridge between worlds—living in a new bookshop where stories can walk freely into reality.

#Vocabulary :

Unstable: not steady; likely to change or collapse

Fading: becoming weaker or less visible over time

Guardian: someone or something that protects or controls access

Mirror world: a parallel reality connected through reflections

Merge: to combine and become one

#Grammar Focus:

• Narrative past tenses (Past Simple, Past Continuous, Past Perfect) to show sequences and layers of events in storytelling.

• Non-restrictive clauses to add descriptive depth (e.g., “Liam, who felt the dream pulling him, followed the page”).

• Mixed conditionals to express impossible or unreal situations (e.g., “If he hadn’t entered the mirror world, he would never have found her name”).
