Would you read this book?

Yes, I took the weekend off from writing because who really wants to be in front of the computer on the weekend, well, besides almost every person I saw in or near anything even resembling a cafe, coffee shop, dessert shop, or an ice cream shop. But tonight I finally got online to tweak the book summary and the first 5 pages of my book which I will be sending out to an agent tomorrow. So please read the next paragraph and let me know if this blurb would make you at least ask to see more of the book (first 5 pages conveniently enclosed. If not, the I welcome your constructive feedback.

In the isolated valley of Terrene, where technology is grown, not manufactured, no one ventures beyond the surrounding mountains, and no one questions the guidance of the enigmatic Institute... no one except for Flora, an underachieving teen whose constant daydreaming is a frustration for both her mom and her teacher. But then a chance encounter sparks lucid dreams where Flora lives the life of climate-change researcher, Jane Ingram, experiencing the technological wonders of a world outside her tiny village. With the mysterious knowledge gained from her dreams, Flora earns a spot at the prestigious Institute where she encounters amazing discoveries and thrilling new challenges. At the same time, she experiences Jane's trials as she fights to stop the impending doom of global climate change. As Flora works with her new-found friends and discovers the true purpose of the Institute, the events of Jane's life become more and more intertwined with Flora's. Soon Flora realizes that her dreams of Jane may change not just her life, but the lives of everyone in both their worlds.
