Cy is having an exciting dream about Ancient Egypt. He is galloping
across the desert on a black Arab stallion, desperate to save the
life of an Egyptian boy who is about to be executed. Then Cy's
horse stumbles. He can hear the boy's cries of help but the desert
sand is dissolving into dust... like the dream itself. To his
annoyance, Cy wakes up. But then he meets the short-tempered Dream
Master and discovers that he really can return to his dreams.
Moving between dream time and real time creates problems,
particularly when Aten, the Ancient Egyptian boy whose life he
saved, travels back with him to the waking world. Cy manages to
pass off Aten as one of his Mum's foreign exchange students and
takes him to school, where Aten provides expert advice on the
Egyptian project that Cy's class are working on. He is also able to
help Cy with his writing problems, introducing him to the Egyptian
Letter Learner and showing him the value of writing. 'Across time
and space, with writing, we are able to meet the minds of others,'
Aten tells him. There are other advantages to Cy's new skill too -
Eddie and Chloe, the school bullies, are sucked into one of Cy's
dreams and turn into crocodiles! This entertaining, informative and
often witty novel is an exhilarating story for competent young
readers. Ages 8-10 (Kirkus UK)
'There are always rules . . . I am the Dream Master. Not you. What
I say goes. And I say this dream is gone, so beat it.' There are
good dreams and there are rotten dreams, but once they're over,
they're over. Or are they? For one morning, as Cy is about to wake
up from a terrific dream about Ancient Egypt, he discovers that he
can get back into his dream world. There's just one problem: the
Dream Master, who isn't used to stroppy boys standing up to him and
wanting to break all the rules. And as Cy moves back and forth
between the present day and the land of the pharaohs - sorting out
all kinds of problems with schoolwork and bullies - dream life and
real life become ingeniously intertwined!
