Synopsis

"Adults will recognize a spot-on portrayal of children's imagination games, while kids will recognize the underwater, outer space, and mountainous territories that their homes become every day through play." -- Kirkus Reviews

Charlie and his friend Marv have invented an invisibility potion to help them find strange and tricky creatures, which they would prefer to do without Charlie's little sister, Lola, bothering and interrupting. But when Lola enlists a bit of help from her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, it turns out that the strange and tricky creatures have met their match in one very resourceful, inventive little sister.

About this title

Review:

"I always wanted a brother, although I doubt he would have been as nice as Charlie. I made him seven because it is one of my favorite ages. I never think of Lola as precocious and certainly not brat-ish - she is one of those children who is just very curious and has quite a strong sense of self. Lots of four-year-olds are like her. There is a retro feel to the whole Charlie and Lola world; the subject is simple and always about the tiny things in life. Tiny things, which can seem very big when you are four or seven."
- Lauren Child -- Quote

Book Description:
