Synopsis
Josh Tak is just an average boy. So why is an international corporation so convinced that he is the key to conquering their new market: the past? Drawn into a whirlwind adventure, Josh finds himself in the middle of a nightmare, caught in umaya, a place between dreams and reality. To find his way back, Josh and his friends must follow a trail that takes them through many adventures, to the core of human nature and to the furthest ends of time itself.

Customer Reviews

One of the best.
This book is definitely in my top 5 ever. The concept is mind-blowing but once you've got your head around it, The Dream Merchant becomes a sublime read. I cannot recommend this book highly enough and I sincerely hope that Hoving continues writing because I will gladly read anything she does.

A very unusual fantasy novel!
I really enjoyed this book, although I agree it would be very heavy for young children. As a working adult it took me a while to read it and I occasionally had to go back to remember which place the children had last been in as there was a lot of detail. However, it was certainly very unusual and a brilliant idea - I am sure you will never have read anything like this before! Thoroughly recommended if you enjoy fantasy and want to read something you can totally lose yourself in.

a great fantasy novel
having read a series of adult novels i felt in dire need of a good dose of fantasy. the dream merchant provided just that. the story of josh wandering through the dream world with his friends theresa and baz is completely original and unputdownable!!! i would recommend it to anyone who likes books such as the wind on fire trilogy and his dark materials trilogy.
