NZ Middle Fiction 8-12-year-olds | Fantasy, Magic and Science Fiction

In an abandoned house at the end of their street, twin brothers Stefan and Arlo discover a young girl hiding in its dusty shadows. Alice needs their help - her twin sister is locked in a cage suspended high above a mysterious mine in a strange parallel world-and she asks an impossible favour. Will they meet her on the next full moon at the entrance to a tunnel they both know doesn't exist?

Except that it does. And when they travel through it, Stefan and Arlo find themselves on a quest that will challenge all their ideas of who they are and what they can do.

The Tunnel of Dreams is a delightful middle-grade fantasy adventure about friendship and loyalty, and about dreaming big and achieving the impossible.

Kate's Review - You’ll never look at abandoned houses the same again! A book every twin, curious adventurer & dreamer should read. Join Stefan, Arlo & Alice as they try to work together to get out of some very sticky situations with tricky characters - making new friends & discovering magic in many forms along the way. A great read from another great Aotearoa author.
