The Dream Travelers #3
Looking Forward Back
He'd been at it twelve long months. He'd conducted hundreds of experiments and still Alex was no closer to figuring out how Anna Lane traveled in time than the first day he'd laid eyes on the black cat bone. But when he walked out of his laboratory in a fit of frustration, suddenly the light post dissolved into a tree, the street became a pond and the woman standing next to him became a man. Alex wasn't standing in his neighborhood any longer. He was some place else. He had traveled. But where had he traveled? What year was it? As soon as the thought came to his mind, the man standing next to him answered.
"You're in the New West," he said without speaking. "And the year is 2076." The man smiled. "We've been expecting you for some time."
So begins the adventure for Alex where, with the help of Anna and Mama Do-Right, he discovers secrets from the future to save the past.

About the author
Cara Johnson
14 books3 followersCara Johnson has written for a number of publications, but The Dream Travelers series represent her first children’s novels.
Cara calls herself an avid dream traveler and says she has been making nightly voyages since she was a young girl. Here, in her own words, is her story.
“It’s hard to know when the dreams began. They’ve been with me for as long as I can remember falling asleep at night. But I do remember, vividly, when the dreams began to change. I was seven years old. I had been talking to corner of my bedroom for a number of months, convinced that angels were watching me. So I talked to them and laughed with them and shared my life. Then one night, as I was falling asleep, I felt myself sinking and sinking and sinking until I knew I had sunk to a whole new place. And I wasn’t afraid because I knew my angels were watching me. So I taught myself how to travel in this place and I began taking trips every night. It got to the point where I could hardly wait to go to bed.
It was during my travels one evening that I heard a message in my mind. There was a young boy about to take a trip on an airplane for the very first time in his life. He was scared and alone and needed a friend. This boy was the first child I ever helped and there would be many to follow.
Now there was time in my life when I forgot about the angels in my corner and I forgot about my dream travels. I even forgot about the children I once helped. So I wrote these stories to help me remember and I offer them to you so that you may never forget. There is magic in yourselves and it all begins in your dreams.”
