Bad Dreams 

“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 . . .
