The Dream Merchant by Isabel Hoving

Josh Cope is a bit of a dreamer ... who sometimes steals things. Otherwise, he's just your average boy.

So why is an international corporation calling him in the middle of the night, insisting that he come and work for them? Why would they be so convinced that Josh is the key to conquering their new market - the Past?

Drawn into this astonishing whirlwind adventure, Josh soon finds himself in the middle of a nightmare, caught in a place between dreams and reality. To find their way back, Josh and his friends must follow a trail that takes them right to the very heart of the human imagination - and to the furthest ends of time itself.
