Pick up the golden torch… follow your destiny…
When twelve-year-old Jayben finds himself in a fantastical new world, he wonders what it all means: Jayben has blanks in his memory due to his epileptic seizures as a result of brain injury.
But when Jayben finds a curved torch in his pocket, an Elf family reveal he is the GREAT NINTH DREAMER. It sounds pretty cool, but The Book of Dreamers – which instructs Jayben on his mission – is filled with blank pages…
He will have to find out what he needs to do quickly because the residents have been waiting for him … a brutal force by the name of Null is wiping everyone’s memories to gain ultimate power. Using the Golden Torch, Jayben is the only hope of getting their beloved memories back, and if he succeeds, he will have the chance to change the Memorywood forever.
With the help of new friends, strange creatures, and a magical place to call home, can Jayben harness his powers? And most importantly, will he fill in the blank pages in the book of dreamers… in time?
A story of friendship, courage, and hope. Whatever pages are missing in your story, you can be the hero on the next page.

Jayben is my kind of hero, and he's one to be celebrated. This amazing exploration of fantasy through the lens of epilepsy shows all readers that one quality we all need to save the world: valour!
Imaginative...this is a hopeful fantasy adventure with a brave and kind young hero
Loved the world building and strange creatures...was kept on the edge throughout...it was also a warm and honest look at a child who has seizures...a great magical adventure with great potential
I loved this book - a triumphant and richly imagined fantasy as well as a compelling insight into life with seizures and memory loss. I can't wait to see where this story goes!

Such an adventure, it was so thrilling to read...this book has a strong message of friendship to it and the characters have such a lovely relationship with each other. I loved this book because it had so much excitement and tension. Reading it took me on a magical journey
