Book Synopsis

''I adore stories in which people have weird dreams, and strange things happen. But that''s in books. Real life is supposed to be real, and I like my world to be solid around me . . . ''

Mel is the class bookworm. She prefers books to people and doesn''t want - or need - friends. She certainly doesn''t want to be first-week minder for new girl, Imogen. And Imogen is odd. Slowly, Mel discovers that Imogen has a special talent - a family ''gift'' that Mel thinks is more like a curse. And that''s when she realizes that stories can happen in real life, too. For only she can stop Imogen''s private horror story - stop the bad dreams . . .
