Schnell finden sie heraus, dass sie ihre Träume mithilfe dieser Maschinen selbst bestimmen und sich sogar gegenseitig darin besuchen können. In einen Vanille-See springen, über die höchsten Baumwipfel schweben, mit spanischen Galeonen über die Ozeane segeln – nichts scheint unmöglich.
Doch eines Morgens wacht Seb nicht wieder auf. Und Malcolm hat nur eine Chance, um seinen kleinen Bruder zu retten: Er muss zurück in die Welt der Träume, um Seb aus den Fängen einer Horde Steinzeitmenschen zu befreien. Und dabei beginnen die Grenzen zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit mehr und mehr zu verschwimmen …
Nur ihr Zwillingsbruder Ethan weiß, wo seine Schwester sich in Wirklichkeit befindet und dass sie in Sicherheit ist. Doch er muss dieses Geheimnis für sich bewahren, denn sonst wird er seine Schwester niemals wiedersehen.

Calculo que, se me tivessem perguntado antes, teria dito que uma máquina do tempo é um bocadinho parecida com um submarino. Ou será mais com um foguetão? Em vez disso, estou a olhar para um computador portátil e para um alguidar de zinco de um viveiro de plantas.
Isto é a máquina do tempo do meu pai. E está prestes a mudar o mundo, literalmente.
Bom, em todo o caso, pelo menos o meu…
Al Chaudhury tem a possibilidade de salvar a vida do seu pai, – mas para o fazer tem de viajar até 1984.
Este romance assombroso e original vai fazê-lo(a) rir, chorar, maravilhar-se e desejar poder voltar atrás no tempo para começar a ler tudo do princípio outra vez.
