The stunning conclusion to The Book of Stolen Dreams series from master storyteller David Farr, perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell and Philip Pullman.After saving the world more times than she can count, things are finally starting to feel normal for Rachel Klein. But life is never normal for a Keeper of the Key...When a famous movie-star returns alive and well to Krasnia after weeks lost in the desert, everyone is thrilled! Everyone, except Rachel. Something about the actor doesn't feel quite right. Then Rachel realises the horrifying truth.With both their own lives and the fate of Krasnia at stake, Rachel and her brother Robert must return to the Hinterland, expose the truth and put an end to tyrant Charles Malstain's evil plans once and for all.Praise for The Book of Stolen Dreams:"A new and important voice for young people." Michael Morpurgo"Dazzling! An instant classic. An eye-wateringly funny and jaw-droppingly fantastical adventure, chock-a-block with rare books, airships, and penguin-shaped hats." Ben Miller"A wonderful story. Gripping and magical." Anthony Horowitz
