Dream Island "is the second part of the ecological fairy tale trilogy created by the famous Russian children's writer Natalia Nemtsova, continuing the fantasy adventure story of" The Forest Keeper ". This time, the elf Uti and her friends will head to the mysterious Dream Island to embark on a tropical adventure full of challenges and wonders. The story begins with the elf rescuer settlement of Utish. Uti, the elf with paper wings, socks on his head, and patched skirts, once again becomes the core of the story. Her name "Uti" means "old thing" or "junk", but she has the magical ability to transform garbage into useful items. This time, Uti and her friends are facing a new crisis: the Uif fish elf salmon has gone missing in the mysterious remote area of Dream Island.

In order to rescue the salmon, Uti and her friends boarded a hummingbird drone and headed to the tropical jungle of the forbidden area - Dream Island. Here, they encountered unique flora and fauna such as dragon trees, noctiluca scintillans, rainbow eucalyptus trees, and king flowers, but also faced great danger. Unknown threats lurk in remote areas, and the ecological balance of islands is being severely disrupted. During the adventure, Uti and her friends discovered that the crisis on Dream Island was not accidental. Human activities are destroying this beautiful land: forests are being cut down, coral reefs are being destroyed, and garbage is piling up on the island. Uti realized that relying solely on the power of elves could not save everything and must awaken human environmental awareness. She decided to convey a message to humanity in her own way, calling on everyone to stop destroying the environment and protect nature.

In the end, Uti and her friends successfully rescued the salmon and temporarily eased the crisis on Dream Island. However, Uti is well aware that the real challenge has just begun. It wrote a deeply moving letter, calling on all humanity to work together to protect the beauty and fragility of the earth.

At the end of the book, there is a "Green Book of Uif" that provides a detailed introduction to the unique flora and fauna featured in the book, such as dragon trees, noctiluca scintillans, rainbow eucalyptus trees, and king flowers.

And there's also a letter from Uti**
Dear kind giants (humans)!

As you read this letter, approximately 5000 trees on Earth have been cut down. How much is this? This is equivalent to a football field in a tropical rainforest. A whole forest disappeared in one minute. That is to say, if all the trees cut down in a day are added up, the entire Dream Island may disappear instantly. If this situation continues, tropical rainforests will completely disappear by the middle of this century. It will be replaced by deserts or swamps. The climate of the Earth will change, and most animals, birds, and plants will become extinct. As you read this book, hundreds of kilometers of coral reefs have been destroyed, and the garbage island, which covers an area equivalent to a large country, is still expanding.
My dearest friends, without you, it would be difficult for us to protect nature. Please show this letter to everyone you know. As long as we work together, we can protect all the beauty of our world. Uif's Green Book will never turn into the black pages of the Red Book.

Sincere thanks and looking forward to our friendship,

Garbage Elf Uti
P. S. All of us, the people of Uif and Lumen, and your brooms.
