The Island of Infinity is home to the world's extinct creatures, and it has a secret for the living. But Moog, a boy from Battersea, and Rockford, his dog, are the only ones who can deliver its extraordinary message.
Lost on Infinity is based on the award-winning dramatised audiobook series by Rockford's Rock Opera and has been re-imagined here as a fully illustrated 180-page paperback adventure. Designed for immersive reading, the story can be enjoyed independently or read aloud, with free access to the musical audiobook included via QR code. Children can listen as they read, combining story, sound, and song in a way that supports engagement and comprehension.
As Moog and Rockford journey deeper into Infinity, readers encounter extraordinary extinct creatures, vast landscapes shaped by natural laws, and ideas rooted in real science. Alongside the story are detailed illustrations, maps to explore, and visual moments that invite curiosity about extinction, endangered species, and humanity's relationship with the natural world. The book encourages thoughtful discussion without ever losing its sense of adventure or humour.
This updated edition is suitable for ages 5-11 and works well for both home reading and classroom use. It supports eco-focused projects, shared reading sessions, and cross-curricular learning around nature and wildlife, while remaining first and foremost an engaging story.
What this edition includes:
- A fully illustrated chapter book for ages 5-11
- 180 pages of artwork, maps, and story
- Free access to the award-winning musical audiobook via QR code
