Publisher Comments:

Eleanor and Eddy are searching for the lost children, Ned and Nora, who vanished from the old room at the top of the house without a trace. In the room, they find verses scratched on the window by Prince Krishna before he, too, disappeared. Now the verses become clues to guide them, but the search is long and mysterious, leading the children deep into dreams that turn into real-life nightmares.

I loved this book as a child and have re-read it as an adult.The adventures Eddy and Eleanor have in their dreams and the lessons they learn there are beautifully rendered. Who hasn't woken from a dream believing for a moment that the dream experience was totally real? Children today can identify with Eleanor and Eddy and would root for them to succeed in their quest to find the lost Prince Krishna, Nora and Ned.
