From New York Times bestselling author Brad Montague comes a top-secret, behind-the-scenes peek at the official agency that keeps the world's creativity flowing.

Every day, special figment agent Sparky delivers all the mail the FBI receives to the proper department, like the Office of the Unexplainable or the Department of Dreams. It's a big job, but Sparky keeps everything running smoothly . . . until disaster strikes when the Cave of Untold Stories overflows and threatens to topple the whole bureau. It turns out too many people have been holding in their big ideas, and now Sparky must recruit more agents to share their dreams, songs, and stories with the world. 

And now, dear reader, will you join the effort and become a special agent before it's too late? The FBI is counting on you!

The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination is a book that leaves you feeling inspired and wanting to share your creativity with the world.

The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination is a top-secret building where figments work. This story focuses on Sparky who is a mail carrier figment. Sparky also loves to write poetry but he never actually shares what he writes. One day Sparky observes that the Cave of Untold Stories is overflowing and realizes to save the bureau that humans will need to share their stories, songs, and art. Sparky writes a beautifully inspiring poem to get humans to share their work.

The illustrations are charming and perfectly balance this truly unique story. Each page had tiny details that enhanced the story and kept my children engaged. We especially liked the tiny pictures of all the different departments that Sparky delivered mail to.

'The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination' encourages readers to create something and not be afraid to put their work out there for others to see. It is worth reading this book just for this line: "We must dream, but we must also do!"
