'AS A CHILD I LEARNED TO DREAM ... IT SCARED ME. IT TERRIFIED ME. STILL DOES.' For sixteen-year-old Peter, a.k.a. Pi, his life explodes when his parents - scientists who created a revolutionary new type of artificial intelligence - are brutally abducted by a sinister establishment, The Organisation, desperate to acquire the technology. He flees to the Dream Factory, an old stone hut rebuilt by his father on the remote Eastcombe Beach - and a place people are able to visit through their dreams ... Can the combined resources of Pi, the brilliant Navinda, and the new local vicar - a literal doubting Thomas - take on the might of The Organisation?

Review of 'The dream factory' on 'Goodreads'

[note: I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review]

Author John Simes has written an ethereal and magical fantasy book centering on two young people, Peter and Navinda and the Dream Factory -- a house in the middle of the forest and the secret they must protect. It's not easy given the ruthless people pursuing him for the secret he is hiding. Helping them in their endeavour are several of the villagers as well as a very wise ginger tabby, Monty.

For me, this isn't the kind of book that I would normally read, preferring cozy mysteries and medical history books. But I would recommend this book for those readers (young and old) who enjoy poetic prose along with their fantasy.
