IMAGATORIUM

Rate this book
Johnny had little reason to be confident in himself. He supposed he was fortunate to have been adopted by his parents, but his new father had died, and his grieving mother struggled to bond with him. One day his life changed when he followed after a mysterious talking raven and became lost. Being unable to retrace his steps, the raven guided him to a magical door that swept him into the world of Imagatorium. There, he met a woman and a trio of birds, who agreed to lead him on a journey to return home. To survive, Johnny must face temptation, overcome his own grief, and gain self-confidence. Meanwhile, it becomes apparent that his arrival into Imagatorium was not by chance but that other motives were at play.

older children’s Christian fantasy

During a boring lunch for adults, 22-year old Johnny comes across a talking bird called Nimoy, and that’s how his adventure in Imagatorium begins.
Nimoy leads him to a woman called Lenore in the magical world. She offers to show Johnny the way home, but first they must do some things, starting with collecting the sword of faith. Along his mystical journey, Johnny learns how to distinguish and then choose between good and evil. Nothing makes sense to him at first, but little by little Johnny begins to understand that everything he is experiencing is an important lesson. Including how to laugh again after grief.
I chuckled several times, including when Lenore had the Baby Cherub in a headlock! I also thought the life and faith lessons woven into the story were wonderfully done.
I think this is a touching novel that would grace any library in a Christian household.

A Surprising Adventure Full of Heart

I really enjoyed this story—it’s imaginative, emotional, and easy to get lost in. Johnny’s journey pulled me in right away. The mix of grief, courage, and magic felt both touching and exciting. Following him through Imagatorium gave me both hope and wonder. A heartfelt, adventurous read.

Great mix of magic and mystery

Fun read and a great story. The mix of magic, mystery, and meaning really pulled me in. The writing is vivid, the world feels alive, and the message about faith, healing, and believing in yourself hits home.

Not sure about this

The narrative itself is interesting, slightly simplistic for my taste, but would work well for young adults.
It would be an overall of 4 stars for me, the story was decent, if it wasn’t for mislabeling the theme.
The book is advertised as Fantasy, however it’s heavily infused with the theme of Christianity and should be labeled as such.
