‘Much worse,’ said the Dream Master. ‘This is Triple Trouble.’
‘Triple Trouble Times Ten.’

Every dream has a Dream Master – to control the dream. But Cy has such a vivid imagination that he has met his Dream Master and can travel with him through Time and Space to live his dreams.

It’s Triple Trouble Time, though, when Cy begins a school project on volcanoes. His head is filled with images of the eruption of Vesuvius near Pompeii and suddenly Cy and his Dream Master find themselves held captive in the time of the Romans. Helpless in the doomed city on the eve of its terrible destruction, Cy discovers that captured prisoners must fight for their lives as gladiators…

‘We’re in trouble, Twenty Types of Trouble – Double Mixed!’

Every dream needs a master – someone in charge, just like someone telling a story. But when Cy has a go at running his own dream, everything goes horribly wrong. Suddenly Viking invaders are burning down a village, chasing after him with huge axes – and a bossy Saxon princess thinks he is a useless swineherd. His dream is out of control!

Only Cy can sort it out. It’s his dream, his story. And if he fails the bloodthirsty barbarians in his dream could burst through into real life…

‘There are always rules… I am the Dream Master.
Not you. What I say goes. And I say this dream is gone, so beat it.’

There are good dreams and there are rotten dreams, and once they’re over, they’re over. Or are they?… For one morning, as Cy is about to wake up from a terrific dream about Ancient Egypt, he discovers that he can get back into his dream world. There’s just one problem: the Dream Master, who isn’t used to stroppy boys standing up to him and wanting to break all the rules. And as Cy moves back and forth between the present day and the land of the pharaohs – sorting out all kinds of problems with schoolwork and bullies – dream life and real life become ingeniously intertwined!
