Review
Rosie knows that if she walks backwards around a fairy ring she can become invisible and after some persuasion she lets her closest friends in on the secret. Following a series of expensive art thefts from nearby houses, locals begin to suspect Rosie's family--travellers who will move on at the end of summer--and she decides join forces with her invisible friends to do a spot of undercover investigation of her own.
With his customary clarity, Swindells sweeps the reader along with a tight, suspenseful and rather magical adventure filled with humour and high drama, touching carefully on the sensitive subjects of bigotry and bullying without being too heavy handed or detracting from the main story.
Reminiscent of Enid Blyton and her Famous Five adventures, but with a thoroughly modern twist which is definitely more Big Mac than cream tea, Invisible! is a pacy, old-school adventure from one of the most popular contemporary children's authors. (Ages 8 to 11) --Susan Harrison
