"Look out," I screamed. The flying creature lashed out and I stared in horror at Rushton's bloodied arm. Maruman leapt between us in his tyger form. "Let me go to him!" I screamed.

"He is a dream but the beast is not. It comes! Wake!"
 
After a kidnapping, Elspeth Gordie and the Misfits are forced to join the rebellion against the oppressive Council, using their extraordinary mind powers. But Elspeth must also investigate clues vital to her quest to destroy the Beforetime weaponmachines. To find a clue lost in the past, Elspeth must travel the Dreamtrails with the cat, Maruman, as her guide and guardian. But her journeys are fraught with danger as a terrifying winged beast seeks to destroy her. And yet, only in dreams can she learn more about her quest.

 
Review/s:

"The special powers, the otherworld setting, the mystical creatures and the vast threatening forces interweave powerfully to create a rich and resonating fantasy."
~ Jenni Connor, Magpies, on Obernewtyn
