On their way to visit Mum in hospital, Wilomina, her father and      baby brother Kes get stuck in the middle of nowhere.

On board, she meets Mephisto, a talking cat - and this      is only the beginning of the absurd...       Soon, Wilomina is separated from her family, tumbling into Nocturna      - a parallel land where dreams and nightmares come from. But      something eerie is happening: the nightmares are taking over. With      Mephisto's help, Wilomina must find her family and seek the gate      that will lead them home. On their journey, they meet spectres,      dragons and spider-witches, crossing monster-infested waters and      facing impossible puzzles at the maze-like Premonition Library.               But worst of all: Nocturna is slowly transforming Wilomina into      a ferocious 'werepire'. Can she fight the monster within... and      find the way home?
