Who is this man whose compelling stories bring to life in such detail the day-to-day experience of sailing on a pirate ship?

Everything changes one icy gray morning when Jack receives two visitors that alter his life forever.

The second is an emissary from a secret country called the Imagine Nation, an astonishing place where all the fantastic and unbelievable things in our world originate — including Jack. Jack soon discovers that he has an amazing ability — one that could make him the savior of the Imagine Nation and the world beyond, or the biggest threat they've ever faced.
