The Imagination Box

Book Synopsis

There is a box. Anything you imagine will appear inside. You have one go, one chance to create anything you want. What would you pick?”

That’s exactly the question ten-year-old Timothy Hart gets to answer after discovering The Imagination Box. The greatest toy on earth.

The top-secret contraption transforms his life but when the box’s inventor, Professor Eisenstone, goes missing, Tim knows he has to investigate.

With the help of a talking finger monkey called Phil, he sets out to find the professor. In order to rescue his friend, he must face his darkest fears and discover the true potential of his own mind.

This stunning debut is first in an exciting new trilogy for readers aged 9+.

Our Review Panel says...

This fast-paced adventure revolves around a fantastical invention, The Imagination Box, which gives users the power to create anything they desire. When the contraption falls into the hands of lonely only-child, Tim, he thinks that all his birthdays have come at once, until inventor Professor Eisenstone is kidnapped…This book is jam-packed with action, adventure and danger, as well as plenty of humour in the form of forthright finger-monkey sidekick, Phil! I love this book as it cleverly explores both the wonders and perils of technological advancement.
