Description
The third book in an incredible immersive fantasy series about a boy with no memories and a world that only he can save. Perfect for fans of Francesca Gibbons and The Land of Roar.
As the Ninth Dreamer, Jayben is the only one who can defeat Null, the evil villain who has been making everyone in the Elf World forget. But the crystals that give Jayben his power are quickly fading, and he needs to uncover the missing words from the Book of Dreamers to finally free everyone from Null's curse. When Jayben finds an electrifying blue stone, he quickly learns that it can transport him anywhere in the blink of an eye - but it can be dangerous unless used properly. Hearing of a magical elixir that can restore his crystals to full strength, Jayben sets out on a quest with his friends to find it and the missing words. But Null's ally is racing to get to the elixir first and the words are scattered across the five realms of the Elf World. And it seems as if something - or someone - is preventing Jayben from succeeding. Jayben needs to work out who he can trust - and fast - as he prepares to battle Null in a final showdown.Praise for Book 1, Jayben and the Golden Torch:'Jayben is my kind of hero, and he's one to be celebrated. This amazing exploration of fantasy through the lens of epilepsy shows all readers that one quality we all need to save the world: valour!' - Elle McNicoll, author of A Kind of Spark'I loved this book - a triumphant and richly imagined fantasy as well as a compelling insight into life with seizures and memory loss. I can't wait to see where this story goes!' - Lee Newbery, author of The Last Firefox'A modern classic of children's fantasy with a necessary hero' - Lizzie Huxley-JonesAbout the Author
At 19-years-old Thomas Leeds was hit by a London Black Cab. Whilst he was lucky to survive, his childhood memories did not. Unable to remember the places he loved as a child or to recognise faces, including those of his family, Thomas set about building a new life. Without knowing where his beginning was, he began adjusting to a future that included navigating the severe epilepsy that resulted from his brain injury. 11-years-later, creating an 80s playlist for his upcoming 30th, Thomas heard the first line of the Waterboys' The Whole of the Moon and his childhood memories began to emerge.
Thomas held on to those memories and with them came the seed of his debut Middle Grade novel, exploring and championing the power of memory and epilepsy. Nowadays, Thomas lives in Essex with his wife (the only face he can remember) and his two daughters.Product Details
