Zoom, the Dream Train, spends the daytime with his friends, filling his trucks with bright colours and joyful sounds, but at night he travels into the Dream Time to spread his golden thoughts over children who are afraid and have bad dreams. Zoom is invisible to these children, but one night he encounters Adi, a child who is different and can see the secrets behind the darkness. Zoom and Adi set off to explore the dark places of night together, but Adi has a plan of his own, he wants to find and ride the Night Mare... This story was illustrated by Adam Halsall, who is ten-years-old and has autism. When he was four the experts predicted that Adam would never talk or understand more than simple commands. Six years on, he has achieved a great deal. He now chats away and has enjoyed illustrating the story of the Dream Train in his own unique style. However, because of his autism, his contemporaries have developed past him and Adam often feels isolated and lonely. All profits from this book will go towards buying Adam an Autism Support Dog, to be his constant friend and, in time, to give him the independence to go out alone.
