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?

Children all over the world scour the globe in search of lightstreams (portals) to the magical island where anything they imagine comes to life. But 10-year-old Luca stumbles on to the island by accident and has to complete challenges, riddles and clues in order to get back home. Like Jumanji meets The 13-Storey Treehouse, this fast-paced, funny and adventurous series is perfect for readers aged 8+.
