Feiwel & Friends \/ Macmillan, 2027<\/p>\n
New York Times<\/span> bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst takes readers on an unforgettable journey full of whimsy and adventure as a young girl and her imaginary friend set off to save a magical factory full of fantastic creatures.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s really very impolite to ask anyone to risk life, limb, and extra limbs without giving them a choice.<\/span><\/p>\n Shy daydreamer Amelia has been looking forward to this day for as long as she can remember: the day she, as a ten-year-old, finally gets to enter the magical Imagitorium and create her very own imaginary friend.<\/p>\n But when she walks out of the Creation Room with Ruru, a fluffy, bearlike being with butterfly wings who gives excellent hugs, and into a scene of pure chaos, she quickly realizes that something\u2019s gone very wrong. The Imagitorium is so much bigger than anyone outside knows, filled with dragons and sea monsters and candy cyclones, and now it\u2019s starting to fall apart. The Caretaker is missing, and it\u2019s up to Amelia to find her.<\/p>\n Amelia knows that she\u2019s never been a hero, but\u2026 maybe she can still help?<\/p>\n “<\/span>A brave and beautiful book. One of the most satisfying reading adventures I’ve ever had.“<\/span>-Katherine Applegate, #1 New York Times<\/span> bestselling author and Newbery Medalist<\/em><\/p>\n “The whimsy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/span> meets the magic of The Neverending Story<\/span> in this fantastical journey following a brave young heroine and her imaginary best friend. This is a story you won’t soon forget.” – Jen Calonita, New York Times<\/span> bestselling author of the Isle of Ever<\/span> series<\/em><\/p>\n “Part Wonka’s chocolate factory, part Howl’s Moving Castle<\/span> by way of Build-a-Bear, The Imagitorium<\/span> is a delicious confection of a book celebrating art, friendship, and the deep human need to never stop dreaming. This is a story that reminds readers how creativity makes us all more brave, kind, and ultimately, free. An instant classic!” – Sayantani DasGupta, New York Times<\/span> bestselling author<\/em><\/p>\n
