Book Review

The setting was very atmospheric which was one of the key parts that made me want to read more

I thought the characters each had different personalities which made the story more gripping and exciting. The plot line was equally as amazing in every chapter I read.

The setting was very atmospheric which was one of the key parts that made me want to read more. I thought that the opening paragraph was interesting because it made me want to figure out what was happening next.

The ending was great, it’s perfect because it makes me want to buy the 3rd book when it comes out.

Alessandro D’urso is a brilliant illustrator, I wish I was as good as Alessandro. The storyline was easy to follow and made sense. I would recommend this to all my friends who like adventure books.

About the Book

Our hero Luca is back for the second leg of the Race to Imagination Island! This time, our plucky Racers create team mascots to help them with the three challenges they must overcome: crossing a canyon full of tricks and traps, passing through a forest of evil icy-blue fairies, and quite literally pulling the plug out of the ocean … Who will pass? Who will fail? And who will be sent home forever?
