A New Kind of Dreaming is a story about a boy called Jamie who is an orphan. His mother died when he was small and his father left them alone so he lives with his imprisoned brother ‘Eddie’. Until one day he goes to a detention centre for bad behaviour. Over there in Port Barren, hundreds of secrets are buried under its dry and red sand. First he feels uncomfortable with the environment because he is sensing the secrets of Port Barren. He meets a boy called Cameron who lives with his family. Cameron tells him dark secrets about Port Barren. He tells him about how the local sergeant Butcher found the refugee ship and who each child disappeared when they tried to discover it. After a few days, Jamie finishes his investigation and comes to a solution that Butcher didn’t just kill the girl in the refugee ship, but also killed the children who tried to put Butcher into trouble. After finding out what Jamie was up to butcher does the same with him, Butcher leaves Jamie to die in the scorching heat of desert but he is rescued by Cameron. After spending a couple of days in the desert they were discovered by two tourists. The tourists helped them back to port Barren. When they reached port Barren they found out that Butcher was waiting for them.
