About the Book

Notti Pine and the Dreamtime is a beautifully crafted middle-grade fantasy adventure that bridges generations, cultures, and the dream world itself.

When eleven-year-old Notti Pine moves away from her beloved grandmother, she struggles with homesickness and finding her place in a new town. But everything changes when she receives a mysterious silver dreamtime bracelet, a gift from her late grandfather, unlocking her ability to travel beyond the veil of sleep.

Through vivid dreams that spill into reality, Notti encounters pirate mutinies, ancient temples, African storytellers, and even messengers from the spirit world. Each dream reveals clues about her family's heritage and her own destiny. As she faces dangers, solves mysteries, and builds new friendships, Notti learns the courage to embrace her gift and protect the wisdom of the dreamtime before it is lost forever.

Part historical fantasy, part spiritual adventure, this novel is a lyrical meditation on ancestry, bravery, and the power of imagination. Fans of A Wrinkle in Time and The Girl Who Drank the Moon will love following Notti's journey between worlds.
