IF: The Complete Saga

by Clayton Smith

Colemine Slawson isn’t like most children. He doesn’t have an imagination. So when his teacher assigns a special project about creating imaginary friends, Cole knows he’s in trouble. It’s hard enough for him to make actual friends. He doesn’t stand a chance with imaginary ones.And as The IF Project gets underway, things get even worse. Cole’s attempt at making an imaginary friend goes haywire, and his broken IF is banished back into the imaginary world called the Boundarylands. But rumor has it that the Boundarylands have become a dark place, ruled by The Royal, a sinister force who lurks in the very heart of the kingdom. The Royal has a particular distaste for imaginary friends, and Cole’s lost and broken IF is in extraordinary danger. Now it’s up to Cole, the boy without an imagination, to pass through into the world of endless imaginings to find his IF before it’s too late, and the Royal destroys the IF–and the entire Boundarylands. Thrilling, fantastical, and bursting with creativity, IF is an epic adventure through an ever-shifting landscape of dreams, nightmares, mythology, and lore.
