The Fifth Hero #2: Escape Plastic Island

The sequel to the interactive adventure series about climate superheroes in which YOU get to help save the planet by choosing the story line.

FOUR KIDS. ONE EARTH. AND YOU ARE THE HERO THEY NEED.

The Calamity Corporation is determined to destroy Earth. Their latest plot leaves “ugly” animals in the cold—literally. Any less-than-cute critter will be frozen and blasted into space. Luckily, five climate heroes have the skills to save the day.

JARRETT can talk to animals…even if they don’t always listen.
MALIK masters water…but the floating garbage is a challenge.
FREYA‘s wind powers whisk everyone away…sometimes too powerfully.
AGNES can dig up dirt and soil any evil plan.
And YOU are THE FIFTH HERO!

Make three decisions in this interactive adventure to help the heroes put the Calamity Corporation on ice. Choose incorrectly and it’s game over. But choose wisely, and you might save the planet—and the story!
