An immersive new storytelling experience. Cult audiobook series ‘Rockford’s Rock Opera’ releases first illustrated book

From an attic in North London to the world, the award-winning ecological audio adventure Lost on Infinity is now available for the first time as a fully illustrated children’s book.

Originally known as ‘Rockford’s Rock Opera’, Lost on Infinity was first launched as a dramatised musical audiobook in 2010. The story captured the hearts and imaginations of fans of all ages, having been downloaded over 2 million times and praised as a powerful teaching tool for children of all abilities.

Now, the new illustrated book version of Lost on Infinity brings together the cult audio story with colour pictures, maps, and more – along with instant links to the audiobook and songs that made the story ‘a classic of its time’ – to create a uniquely immersive storytelling experience.

The Island of Infinity is home to the last one of every extinct creature on earth. When Moog, a boy from Battersea, and his dog Rockford find themselves on Infinity, they discover a cast of amazing characters – from the small but mighty ‘Cocklebur Ick’ to the gigantic ‘Herculous Bird’ and the irritable guitar-wielding Registrar. As they race to escape the island, Moog and Rockford discover Infinity’s extraordinary secret and a message for the world that only they can deliver.

With surprising and inspiring insight, Lost on Infinity is a thrilling adventure that delivers a real-world message of hope for current and future audiences.
