About this ebook

A Dream Lore for the Anthropocene, the Era of Humans.

It's another dreary day in Cradlewood High when Erin Gunner cops detention for giving the class clown, Rosco, a well-deserved dead arm.

But their lives take an amazing turn when a new guy shows up in school. Going only by 'Zulu', he reveals that he's a time-traveler fighting to save his home: a peaceful, green city in a climate-engineered future.

​How will Zulu try to change the 'past'? Why is he asking Erin, of all people, to help him? And does it have something to do with a dream she's been having?

An original graphic novel, Dreamstormer is an adventure through time that interweaves science-fiction, historical drama and ancient myth to tell a timely tale about humanity's place in the world.

"The concept of time-traveling via dreams to save the world is intriguing..." - Maddie Breeland, Walt Disney Studios

"A visionary concept - truly remarkable... This has the power to inspire young people to dream and envisage the future they want for themselves, and that is completely invaluable. A story that needs to be told today." - Alana Jessop, Spierigfilm

Ratings and reviews

This graphic novel is an exciting first glimpse at what appears to be a very unique addition to cli-fi (climate fiction). Inception meets Back to the Future - with a touch of Marvel - makes for an excellent base for telling a climate change story in a fresh and engaging way. The illustrations are amazing and really bring the story to life. I can’t wait to see the next instalment.

Really liked the comic! Dreamstormer has a pretty unique 'inception-esque' theme to it, and the reader gets thrown into a pretty unique world, with easy to get along characters. Really like the artwork in this comic as well,

Really fresh ideas, identifiable characters, well-paced storyline with plenty of action, but also time for reflection. Good balance of seriousness and humour. Great art. No other element needed for a compelling and intriguing graphic novel.
