Reviews

"A heartwarming story with a laugh-out-loud plot and memorable characters." Lancashire Evening Post, 8 June 2002 "This story sparkles with originality and appealing out-of-the-ordinary events to provide a rivetting read." Junior Magazine "What makes Gardner's book special is not just the cleverness of its plot, but its charming linguistic zaniness...It's a pleasure to read - to yourself and aloud." Sunday Telegraph, 14 July 2002 "The Invisible Boy has enough humour and action to keep less confident readers as well as assured readers turning the pages." Books for Keeps "A heartwarming and engaging story with wonderful memorable characters." Family Interest Magazine, September/October 2002
