A brand-new adventure beyond your wildest dreams, from the bestselling authors of KID NORMAL.

Unlike most 12-year-olds, Maya Clayton is desperate to go to bed early. Falling asleep is the only chance she has to save her dad— the brilliant but slightly odd Professor Dexter.

The Professor invented a device that allows you to visit other people's dreams. However, the devious Lilith Delamere has trapped him inside a nightmare. Maya and the mysterious Dream Bandits must find a way to rescue him before it's too late! Maya will face a dangerous journey and some difficult choices. But sometimes all you need is a dream... and a bit of courage.

Featuring a hospital heist, some banana-loving llamas, and a talking cat called Bin Bag, this is one mind-bending adventure you won't want to wake up from.
