The Dream Stealers

Keep your children close at night

For the Squidgicum-Squee’s a creeping

Never let them leave your sight

Or forever there’ll be weeping

Count your children one to ten

And when you’ve finished, count again

For where you counted ten before

You’ll find that there are ten no more

When the Squidgicum-Squee comes creeping.

A brooding malevolence has emerged from the shadows, and loved ones are disappearing without a trace. Stranded on a strange alien world, with no idea how he got there or how he was going to get back home, Joshua Ellis meets a mysterious pirate; but can he be trusted? Will Joshua and his new friends discover the dark secret of the Dream Stealers and prevent the unearthing of an ancient evil? Or are they already too late?
