Infinite: Island of the Immortals
“Did you know people could fly? Well, have you ever tried?”
On an enchanted tropical island Michael glimpses something unbelievable and embarks on the adventure of his life. Because Michael sees things others don’t, he’s different - but so are the Infinite . Since ancient times the Infinite secretly guided humanity from the shadows. These days it’s from an island sanctuary, through a modern global network. But they still teach their kids everything a human being is capable of - like the socially awkward Ben, who was raised in the rainforest to do the impossible. An infinite power is inside us all. If only Michael can see that what makes him different makes him special, that what some call a weakness is your strength! But even paradise is not perfect. Earth’s guardian angels have dark secrets too. When a series of terrible attacks push the world to the brink of war, Michael and his newfound friends must confront the demons that haunt the Infinite’s past. For the very soul of the Infinite is at stake and with it the future of the whole world. Can Michael hang on to his new home? Or has trying to change the world already changed the Infinite too much? Full of hilarious characters and intriguingly set in today’s world, Island of the Immortals brings together fantasy, science and the silliness of growing up in this refreshingly human adventure of epic proportions.

Great book!
I usually don't like to read fiction but this one was recommended by a close friend and I'm i glad he did! So captivating and genuinely hard to put down. Cant wait to see if there will be a sequel!

Very good book which I found hard to put down. It got complicated sometimes, but wanted to keep reading, because I wanted to know why the characters were acting weird and suspicious.
Also very interesting how the powers of the people work, it is different than the other fantasy and magic books I have read, which is also the reason why I liked the book so much.
It involves magic, love, but also a big part of reality of human kind.

Really enjoyed the book! I was so into the story, I couldn't put it down. Once you are in there, you really live inside the story.
