In this thrilling contemporary fantasy novel, a father must investigate the magical underbelly of Los Angeles to find his daughter, who has seemingly disappeared into the fantastical universe of her favorite books.
“Dreambound is a glorious mash-up of fantasy and modern-noir.”—David S. Goyer, executive producer of Foundation
When Byron Kidd’s twelve-year-old daughter vanishes, the only clue is a note claiming that she’s taken off to explore the Hidden World, a magical land from a series of popular novels. She is not the only child to seek out this imaginary realm in recent years, and Byron—a cynical and hard-nosed reporter—is determined to discover the whereabouts of dozens of missing kids.
Byron secures a high-profile interview with Annabelle Tobin, the eccentric author of the books, and heads off to her palatial home in the Hollywood Hills. But the truth Byron discovers is more fantastic than he ever could have dreamed.
As he unearths locations from the books that seem to be bleeding into the real world, he must shed his doubts and dive headfirst into the mystical secrets of Los Angeles if he hopes to reunite with his child. Soon Byron finds himself on his own epic journey—but if he’s not careful, he could be the next one to disappear.
Told through journal entries, transcripts, emails, and excerpts from Tobin’s novels, Dreambound is a spellbinding homage to Los Angeles and an immersive and fast-paced story of how far a father will go—even delving into impossible worlds—to save his daughter.

      Starred review from August 1, 2023

      Twelve-year-old Liza Kidd has gone missing from her home in Boston. She leaves only a note tucked in her favorite fantasy book saying that she is going to the end of the world and beyond. Byron Kidd is determined to find his daughter, despite everyone telling him that she is dead. The only clue that Byron has is Liza's phone location in Los Angeles, where it was used once before being shut off. Byron uses his investigative-journalist skills to try to find Liza, beginning in L.A. He secures an interview with Annabelle Tobin, the reclusive author of Liza's favorite fantasy series, but it only leaves him with more questions and suspicions. Is Tobin part of a child-trafficking ring, or are her books merging with reality? Byron will have to dissect his own beliefs to reconstruct what's real. VERDICT Expertly told through a series of journal entries, emails, texts, and excerpts from Tobin's novel, Frey's (The Future Is Yours) book weaves a gripping, suspenseful narrative that flows well, even in this unique format. A blend of thriller and fantasy that's perfect for fans of TV's Stranger Things.--Leigh Verburg
