The Imagination Box

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 rule: 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.

"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)
