The Imagination Box #2
Beyond Infinity
Fans of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and The Mysterious Benedict Society will race through this exciting adventure and sequel to The Imagination Box about an orphan, his unusual friends, and the power of imagination.
Timothy Hart is getting used to the good life with his new Imagination Box. Anything he can imagine, he can create! There’s only one the Box must not leave Tim’s room at the hotel where he lives.
But Tim has never been good at following rules—especially when there’s the opportunity to “imagine” his homework into being without actually having to do it. Tim is feeling pretty good. . . .
Until he notices the strange people following him, and then chasing him, and then his beloved Imagination Box being ripped from his hands.
He’ll need the help of a Top-Secret Scientific Institution—and of course, his friend Dee and his talking finger monkey, Phil—if he’s going to save the Imagination Box from corruption of the worst possible kind.
Praise for The Imagination Box :
“ A splendid adventure, hilarious and harrowing in turn and so strongly cast that even the precocious pocket primate doesn't steal the show.” — Kirkus Reviews , Starred Review
"With a solid mystery, fantastic device, warm friendships, a funny monkey, and heartening conclusion, this has a heaping serving of middle-grade antics."- Booklist
“ The Imagination Box is children’s fiction in the classic mode, with double-crosses, deceitful adults and narrow escapes all meshing into a solid mystery plot …and a timeless be-careful-what-you-wish-for message.”— Financial Times (UK)

This is the second book in The Imagination Box series. I did not read the first one, but I think it would have been beneficial if I had. In the first book you learn about the Professor's invention. Tim is the only one that can make it work. There was an attempt in the first book to make a replica by some evil persons but of course, it does not work. Tim has been warned to never take The Imagination Box out of his room.
In the story, Timothy Hart realizes that he can get the box to complete his homework and school assignments so he takes it to school with him. On the way home from school he is chased and eventually the box is stolen. When Tim and his friend go to TRAD to try and recover it, they meet a man who has made a giant imagination box and they go to see it. Again, he is the only one that can make it work. That is when they realize he might be in danger.
This is a cute adventure book with lots of action. It would be a great chapter read for children ages 8 to 12. This would be a good addition to family, school and public libraries. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
