Series Description:
At seventeen, Will Dreycott is a superhero…in his dreams. And in yours.
Eight years ago, Will's parents, shady dealers in ancient artifacts, disappeared on a jungle expedition. Will, the sole survivor, returned home with no memory of what happened, bringing a gift…and a curse.
The gift? Will can walk in our dreams. At night in Dream, Will hunts for criminals—and his parents. During the day, his Dream Rider comic, about a superhero no one knows is real, has made Will rich.
The curse? Severe agoraphobia. Will can't go outside. So he makes his home a skyscraper with everything he needs in life—everything but the freedom to walk the streets of his city.
Case, an orphan Will's age, survives on those streets with her young brother, Fader. Survives because she too has a gift. She hears voices warning her of danger. And Fader? Well, he fades.
The Hollow Boys throws Will and Case together, as well as into danger and an unlikely romance, as they join forces to defeat a centuries-old body swapper preying on street kids.
In The Crystal Key, a trail of dark secrets leads Will, Case, and Fader to a mysterious world, trapping them between warring cults willing to kill for a dangerous and powerful artifact from Will’s past.
In The Lost Expedition, Will’s search for his lost parents propels the three friends deep into the jungles of Peru, where they battle an ancient evil to save all of reality.
Indiana Jones meets Teen Titans in The Dream Rider Saga, a fast-paced urban fantasy trilogy from “one of Canada’s most original writers of speculative fiction” (Library Journal).

“The Lost Expedition put me in mind of A Wrinkle in Time, [with] the same sweeping scope that engages one’s sense of wonder. … [but] far more inclusive and far less elitist than L’Engle’s. Smith’s characters represent different social classes, ethnicities, abilities and weaknesses. … Whoever reads this book will find at least one POV character with whom they can identify. … The Lost Expedition is a solid ending to a great series. … There is a sweeping majesty to the world building we have not seen since—well, since A Wrinkle in Time. … You should package up all three volumes to gift to any young adults in your life—or any adult in your circle nostalgic for the Golden Age of science fiction fantasy.” —The Ottawa Review of Books
