HAUNTERS by Thomas Taylor
Eddie, Adam and David have the same gift. Separated by generations, they are linked by their ability to time-travel. Using their dreams, they can appear like ghosts, wherever and whenever they want.
The first is the genius who discovers dreamwalking. The second is a Haunter, a dreamterrorist, determined to change history for his own ends. The last is the novice dreamwalker who must battle to save his family, and himself, from oblivion.
Haunters is a gripping supernatural thriller for young teens, with a stunning central idea: if ghosts are time-travellers from the future, then the past is in danger … With the same popular appeal as Alex Scarrow’s bestselling Time Riders series, this is the debut novel from the original cover artist of Harry Potter.
