Imagine a place where every superhero, villain, alien, cybergadget and comic-book fantasy were to come alive — that place would be the Imagine Nation and it is the extraordinary island where Jack Blank finds out the truth of his murky origins.

The book opens when Jack is 12-years-old and living at St. Barnaby’s Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost which, according to it’s sign, has been “crushing the spirit of childhood since 1898”. Jack is known as a trouble maker because weird things happen when he is around, but the day he is almost killed by a Robo-Zombie and then spirited away to the island country known as Imagine Nation is beyond anything even Jack’s fantasy world can comprehend.

It is the belief of Jack’s rescuer, Jazen (an android), that the boy has untapped superpowers and therefore belongs with the other superheroes of Imagine Nation where he will fight along with it’s citizens to protect the planet Earth from the Rustuv. Rustuvs are parasites which take over flesh and blood bodies, and turns them into machines. “Veins turn into circuits, blood turns into oil… the skin mummifies, flaking away to reveal rusted metal bones.”

This first book in a planned trilogy is the best novel for 8-12 year olds I’ve read in a long time! It is exciting and clever; and Jack is a smart and likeable superhero in training. On sale August 3rd! ~Patti
