Invisible Inc.
Illustrator: Jim FieldWho doesn’t love a crazy inventor living in a dilapidated old manor house, devising a zapping ray gun to render everything invisible? Noah Deer (no idea – geddit?) is the crazy inventor’s son, and he’s having to deal with some very strange goings-on, not least a floating tin of baked beans and weird text messages on his phone. Noah’s mother Trudi is kidnapped by a dastardly villain, and Noah gets zapped by the BRIAN (Beam Removing Intricate Atoms in Nanoseconds) joining a 19th-century scientist Baroness Jemima Smyth, and a medieval knight and his horse, in a world of invisibility. They all have to work together to defeat the worst baddie of all, Seerbright and his band of poultry-geists (evil killer metal-enhanced chickens). This book by Steve Cole is fast-paced and hilarious, with lots of great puns and silly details to keep young readers entertained. The superb comic-book style illustrations by Jim Field bring out the sinister elements of the story, as well as the humour. Visually appealing, completely bonkers and huge fun!
