From the Publisher
When we got Lost in Dreamland
When I was very little, I had this dream about a crocodile chasing me round the back garden. Mam had the idea of buying me a toy crocodile and giving it a funny name and we chose Cuthbert. Nothing called Cuthbert could be scary, she said. So one night, I dreamed that the crocodile was there, chasing me like before. I stopped and said its name: ‘Cuthbert!’
In seconds, the beast in front of me turned into my toy. I watched, mesmerised, as the horny, scaly, knobbled skin became the soft green fur of a cuddly toy; the yellow razor teeth transformed to little white triangles of felt. Everything about him shrank till he was a furry toy.
When I woke up the next morning, my arm was slung round toy Cuthbert. The nightmares went away shortly after that.
This was my first experience of controlling a dream, and I kind of forgot all about it. Then the Dreaminator came along, and Cuthbert came back and, well..
The 1000 year old Boy
Would you like to live forever? I am afraid I cannot recommend it. I am used to it now, and I do understand how special it is. Only I want to stop now. I want to grow up like you.
This is my story. My name is Alve Einarsson. I am a thousand years old. More, actually.
Are we friends? In that case, just call me Alfie. Alfie Monk.
If you want to ask me, ‘Why did you do it?’, go ahead: I do not mind. I have asked myself that many, many times. I still do not know the whole answer.
All I can say is that I was young, and very, very scared. I wanted to do something – anything – that would make me feel stronger, better able to help Mam, better able to protect us both.
And so I became a Neverdead, like Mam.
More adventures from Ross Welford…
My pet dog is called Mr Mash.
We named him that because he’s a mishmash. A total mongrel.
He smells terrible. He’ll eat literally anything. He can’t see very well.
But I love him more than anything. (Sorry dad.)
And without him, the world is going to end…
I read the sign again, glowing in front of me:
Type of organism: human female
Origin: Earth
Age: about twelve years
I looked at the bedraggled creature, and I wanted to reach through the unseen barrier and hold its hand.
It’s fun at first, being invisible. But when one day the invisibility fails to wear off, Ethel is thrown into a nightmare of lies and deception as she struggles to keep herself safe, to find the remedy that will make her seen again – and solve the mystery of her own birth…
