A special reissue of an Australian classic ten years since first published. To live here, you have to learn that life is a balance between being a wanderer and being a lost one. Jamie Riley has hit rock bottom. Busted for stealing cars, he's been shipped off to serve time in Port Barren, a stinking hot town stuck between the desert and the sea. The minute Jamie gets off the bus, he can feel something is not quite right about Port Barren - the town has a past it doesn't want to share. After being warned that Port Barren is his last chance before jail, Jamie resolves to serve his time and get out. But when Jamie discovers an old, wrecked boat on the beach and starts asking questions, it becomes obvious that local cop Elliot Butcher has it in for him. As he gets closer to the truth, things start going wrong around town. With no one else to blame, Jamie realises surviving Port Barren is going to be way harder than he thought. A powerful mystery from award-winning author Anthony Eaton.

"Courier-Mail"" "A New Kind of Dreaming makes you think about the crime and injustice that go unpunished in our world today. It is an excellent tale ... I guarantee that you will find it very difficult to put this novel away." --Courier-Mail "Eaton succeeds in establishing a terrific atmosphere, very vividly evoking life in the hot dusty town claustrophobically sandwiched between sea and desert. His prose is tight, the narrative thrust strong and convincing in its exploration of the continuing legacy of the past." --Canberra Times "Eaton has created an unputdownable book ... this is an enthralling story for teenage readers, maintaining a great deal of anticipation, excitement and pace. A well-told and beautifully written tale." --Bookseller + Publisher
