“A burst of rainbow light appeared in the sky – and someone floated into view…”

The Book Fairies have been busy sharing copies of Race to Imagination Island! This new book for middle-grade readers, written by Mel Taylor-Bessent and illustrated by Alessandro D’Urso, has been hidden all around the UK… and we were lucky enough to welcome the author as Book Fairy for a Day!

About the book:

Observers! Dreamers! Inventors! Explorers! The time has come to crown four new Protectors of Imagination Island. Do you have what it takes to win the Race?

Mario Kart meets The 13 Storey Treehouse in this thrilling new series from the author of The Christmas Carrolls.

The time has come for four children to be named the new Protectors of Imagination Island. Children all over the world scour the globe in search of lightstreams (portals) to the magical island where anything they imagine comes to life.

To become a Protector, they must compete in teams and complete a series of challenges to prove they have what it takes. But not everyone will make it to the next level, and the last person to reach the checkpoint will be transported back home immediately…

Dreamy 10-year-old Luca is afraid of everything, not least the lightstream he stumbles into by accident. Imagination Island is everything that he’s terrified of. But there’s no way out. So he hits on a plan. Work out how to come LAST, and get sent home. That’s what he really wants. Isn’t it?

The Race is ON!

Not lucky enough to find one?
