edition.
Product Description
The thrilling story of a young girl with an extraordinary power.
Melanie is less than happy when her teacher asks her to help Imogen, the new girl in their class, to settle in. Mel would rather have her nose in a book than in a conversation. But as she gets to know Imogen, Mel realizes that there's something different about her. Imogen has a way of knowing what's going to happen in a book before she's even read it. And not only does she know it, she seems to actually feel it, as if it's happening to her. Unlike Imogen and her family, Mel can see that this power is more of a curse. But how far is Mel willing to go to destroy the magic and free her friend?

Format:Paperback
A short but a interesting thriller, the book Bad Dreams is full of fantasy and twists of excitement. Mel, a nothing-but-bookworm, helps Imogen from her "curse", which is that when she touches a book, she'll be pratically in it. For example, abook book about the "Headless Horseman", will make her be with the horseman and she'll hear the thundering of hooves. A gripping but stlightly eerie book.

a little too fake
29 Mar 2001
Format:Hardcover
ok i didn't expect anything from this book and i didn't get anything from this book. The main character starts out with no friends and ends up with no friends. She's a little overboard with the I love books thing. I mean she prizes books over friends and well.....it's just not a good read. I suggest you don't pick it up and say it looks interesting cause its a waste of your time.
