Product Description
Book Description
A gripping tale of real life and story-lives - and of the importance of being free to be yourself. From one of today's top children's authors, multi-awardwinning Anne Fine
--This text refers to an alternate
Paperback
edition.
Book Description
This novel tells of young Mel, the class bookworm who has thus far successfully managed to distance herself from other children by burying her head and losing herself in words and imagination. She certainly prefers books to people and when new girl Imogen arrives on the scene her first instincts are proved absolutely correct. Imogen is definitely weird.
As Mel becomes more and more curious about Imogen and her "weirdness", the two form a bond and it is this bond that forms the premise of the book. As usual Fine's characters are beautifully observed, and as the subtleties of a blossoming--not to mention reluctant--friendship sharply but unobtrusively develops, the two girls reveal themselves to each other at a tender pace. But the gripping centre-piece of the story is the search for peace in a world that is turned upside down by the supernatural.
Decidedly spooky in places, and not without its fair share of giggles, Bad Dreams delicately combines a fast-paced adventure with the tender touch of an author with a thorough awareness that she is dealing with some very tricky issues: the importance of being true to yourself and the difficulties we face when making decisions that will affect another person's life. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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.
