Xunitopia: The Search for Imagination tells the story of four teenagers: Caiman, Mariana, Bali, and Fiji and their fantastical journey to the land of Xunitopia. The four teenagers live very ordinary lives in a rather upscale neighbourhood. Until one day the school bully, Kurk, shows up to school with a unicorn horn. As Caiman’s parents are archaeologists, the boy immediately realizes that the rare relic was stolen from a museum in Europe. Driven by a voice within the horn, Caiman steals the unicorn horn from Kurk. Once in his hands, the horn dissolves into Caiman’s body. To unlock the mystery of this strange relic, Caiman and his friends search their local library for clues and find themselves transported to Xunitopia. Here the adventure begins.
Xunitopia: The Search for Imagination is an action filled fantastical adventure story complete with mystical creatures, magical powers, and imaginative quests. This book is filled with twists and turns that are creatively and thoughtfully interwoven throughout the story. This book will be thoroughly enjoyed by any preteen, teenager, or young adult that has ever wondered why our world seems to losing its imagination and hope for the future or who has ever dreamed of being a hero or undertaking an important quest.
