What if your daydreams actually came true?
Sometimes it's tough to be twelve. Simon's imagination is the perfect escape-until it gets him into trouble with his teacher and parents. But that's nothing compared to what happens after his father's mysterious invention zaps Simon and his twin sister Casey. Now with a supercharged imagination, Simon's next daydream takes the two of them into space. For real.
They soon encounter the evil Gamnilians, who take them prisoner. There the twins meet Geet, a clever alien with anxiety issues. Discovering that they all want the same thing-to go home-the trio teams up. Can they escape from the Gamnilians and their ruthless commander Lusec? Or will they remain imprisoned forever in the alternate universe created by Simon's imagination?
Only one thing is certain: Their daring attempt will lead them on an adventure that not even Simon could have imagined.
Written by a long-time teacher of middle grade students (ages 9-12), this book is packed with:
- science fiction action and adventure
- humour
- aliens
- fun!
- spaceships, blasters and various other techy things
- themes related to imagination, courage, friendship and family
A Gamnilian translation guide is included at the back of the book, with the English version of all thirty lines spoken in Gamnilian. Because-in this universe at least-they just don't teach that kind of thing in school.
