Bad Dreams — Anne Fine

The thrilling story of a young girl with an extraordinary power.

Melanie is less than happy when her teacher asks her to help Imogen, the new girl in their class, to settle in. Mel would rather have her nose in a book than in a conversation. But as she gets to know Imogen, Mel realizes that there's something different about her. Imogen has a way of knowing what's going to happen in a book before she's even read it. And not only does she know it, she seems to actually feel it, as if it's happening to her. Unlike Imogen and her family, Mel can see that this power is more of a curse. But how far is Mel willing to go to destroy the magic and free her friend?
