"Josh Cope, a dreamy, gadget-obsessed 12-year-old, is chosen, with friend Baz, to work at an old company called Gippart!. The boys are teamed up with Theresa, and the three enter its trading zone, called umaya!. Umaya is the collective unconscious of humankind, and Gippart has discovered the secret of physically entering it and selling fantastic goods and concepts!. The three young people are soon trapped in there, which starts a multilevel, action-crammed plot!. They are hunted by a ghost-made-flesh and her accompanying guardian angel!. Two Gippart employees who also want to use them for personal gain track them!. Josh and friends are stuck in a repeating pattern so that whenever they fall asleep, they travel backwards in umaya time!. They realize their actual goal: to right an ancient wrong committed by company founders!. This is a lengthy tale with an extremely complicated setup!. Readers who commit themselves to it will be well rewarded; the intricate plot is deep and gratifying!. Despite the sprawling, fast-paced action, it's a personal story; nightmarish monsters plague the heroes, and each one must make a momentous decision or slay a private demon before returning home!. This novel speaks to the art of storytelling, the conflict-filled history of the world, and the nature of greed and selfishness"

As he jumps into umaya, a spirit grasps at him and refuses to let go: She's Jericho, his twin sister who died at birth!.

Jericho joins Baz, who will become the world's best drummer, and Teresa, a master of words, in Josh's small group fighting to get home from umaya after the border slams shut!. A feud between two ancient ancestral brothers from the beginning of time shapes Josh's quest as he travels backwards through centuries!. Creation legend and contemporary characters merge!.

These three sites do a great job at finding titles of books when given little information!. The first one, auntbook!.com, only searches for children's books!.
If nobody here can help you, maybe you could post your question on one of these sites!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
