I would recommend this book because it was about not giving up.
I loved this book, it helped me let my imagination run wild and the value of friendship.
Fantastic pacy adventure with diverse characters and good themes. Loved the rap battle and can’t wait for next in series.
This is a purely fun adventure / fantasy story that will help hook children into the joy of reading. It could be read aloud to children from year 2. There are also fantastic illustrations. I can’t wait for book 2
I really liked the plot - that Luca is the only person who doesn't want to be on Imagination Island but he is on Imagination Island! I love how Aly loves ketchup. I definitely recommend this book.
Quick read - would be great for children who struggle with anxiety! Quite simplistic and easy to follow.
