Today a fragment of a story I read a long time ago popped into my head and now I'm trying to track it down. If anyone can help me I would be incredibly grateful.

This story goes something like this, as near as I can recall: the main character, a boy, for some reason has a book of his grandfather's that two groups of people are looking for (the good guys and the bad guys). They both try to enlist his help (I think via dreams) and he decides to help the good guys, of course. I think he spends the rest of the story evading the bad guys to get the book to the good guys.

That's all I can recall. I'm positive it wasn't a dream and I really really want to find it! Sorry for the long, rather bizarre post.
