SCOTSMAN
"This book grabs you from the first spooky
moment when Cy wakes from his dream about ancient Egypt and decides
to get back into it again. An ancient Egyptian boy (Aten) comes out
of Cy's dream and becomes involved in Cy's waking world. The Dream Master
controls everyone's dreams and doesn't like boys like Cy trying to control
their own dreams. Sometimes this book is scary and sometimes it's really
hilarious. … I didn't want the story to end.
