SailRock "Home" by Jennifer Wren

The four winds blow through this world.
Read fast or it might all be gone one day.
In the blink of an eye, dreams built on memory and imagination might not still exist.

This world belongs to Zed and Eleven Borealis. They had followed Svidaniya, the Borealiss' pet cat, a calico Siberian born in Aunty Win's guesthouse bathtub, two summers back in time.
She had woken them up, in the middle of the night.

The next thing they found was that the sun always rises right before five.

"Let's call this place SailRock Home" they had exclaimed after finding the petrified wood carving collection, a sailing ship, filled with miniatures, many of which had been hammered into walnut wood before the centuries had hardened it. The details were uncanny, but they changed before the children's eyes. They were delighted, and horrified.
Here, the boundaries of nature were fluid, and the impossible became possible.

The wind will surprise you with many things from far away places. Don't let it bother you. Eleven and Zed will have to visit every centre on SailRock Home in search of dye plates to recreate a map of new waterways. Collect all ten plates and become a guardian of the spaces within dreams. Create a map of SailRock Home by dying glass tiles.
