Publisher Description
Eleven year old Marcus loves video games and hates the beach. So he is not happy when his mum Holly drags him to Diamond Beach, the place she loved as a child. Once there, Holly meets Coco, her friend from her childhood. She is there with her electronics-obsessed husband, Sterling Huckstepp, and their kids, cool teenage Newt, pizza-loving Edison and the family robot, Prot. Opening a door into the basement of Holly's caravan, Edison discovers the most amazing amusement park. Whoever opens a door in the basement finds themselves in their very own dream vacation. But when the dream becomes impossible to escape from, it all begins to feel more like a nightmare: Marcus, Holly, and the Huckstepps find themselves trapped in a matrix of terrifyingly perfect dreamscapes peopled with strange characters that will allow them to do anything they want, except leave...A whirlwind adventure at a breakneck speed.

" Great Story, but sometimes I feel it was meant for younger people, like 12 year olds. But I liked it! :D "

" I always enjoy Catherine Jinks on audio, but would never read one of her books since I don't enjoy them enough to not have the awesome Australian narrator. This one was pretty hectic and action-packed, so it made for particularly entertaining listening. "
— Ashley, 11/28/2012 -
" 'Back to the Future' meets 'Alice in Wonderland' with some Greek mythology thrown in makes for a totally unpredictable fun read that would appeal to children aged 9 to 15. "
