Review
"Captivating ... Dreamhunter is an example of great writing ... Compelling, highly original." (The Sydney Sun Herald)
"A lyrical, intricate and ferociously intelligent fantasy" (Kirkus Reviews)
"Knox's fascinating story imagines the intersection of a haunting dreamworld with a gritty real world ... This fully imagined world will surely lure readers back for multiple readings." (Publishers Weekly)
"A tantalising feat of imaginative fiction ... perhaps the most dazzingly inventive of her books to date." (Magpies Magazine)
“It is like nothing else I’ve ever read. The characters are so real, you’ll feel like you know exactly what they look like and how their voices sound and what they would say or do in any given situation. More than that, you’ll want to hang out with them. Then the world is so amazing and unique. You will want to go there. You will want to walk into ‘the Place.’ And you will want to sleep in a dream opera.” (Stephenie Meyer)
"Elizabeth Knox creates a world recognizable as our own but with a geographical twist - a mysterious land called 'the Place.' Only 'dreamhunters' can go there to capture dreams and bring them back to share with others. Laura and Rose are cousins and children of famous dreamhunters: Laura's father, Tziga, discovered 'the Place'; Rose's mother performs her dreams at the famous Rainbow Opera. (Others deliver nightmares for prisoners or relaxing dreams for hospital patients.) When her father disappears, Laura finds herself on a terrifying mission to find him. Edwina Wren skillfully conveys the dreamlike quality of the story with a wistful tone. She also develops fitting character voices - Laura is sensitive and anxious, Rose is pert and confident, and the golem-like Sandman is a bit scratchy." (AudioFile Magazine)

Stephenie Meyer - author of the Twilight Saga Suitable for ages 12+ Fast-paced and dazzlingly imaginative, Dreamhunter will draw the reader into an extraordinary fictional world in which dreams are as vividly described as the cream cakes in the tea shop, the sand on the beach or teenage first love. Set in 1906, Dreamhunter describes a world very similar to ours, except for a special place, known simply as the Place, where only a select group of people can go. these people are called Dreamhunters and they harvest dreams which are then transmitted to the general public for the purposes of entertainment, therapy - or terror and political coercion. Fifteen-year-old cousins Laura Hame and Rose tiebold both come from famous dreamhunting families, but only Laura proves to be blessed with the gift and once inside the Place she finds out what happened to her missing dreamhunter father and reveals how the government has used dreams to control an ever-growing population of convicts and political dissenters.

These are the Dreamhunters and they harvest dreams, which are then transmitted to the general public. This work is suitable for children aged 11 and above.
