Mr Hamilton
*I received a complimentary copy of this book. Being invisible isn’t the only thing they have in common, they are all lonely too. Either way, The Invisible acts as a reminder to every reader that we can all make a difference in the world. Living in poverty, Isabel has lost her place in the world, no one sees to notice her anymore.

So cold, Isabel’s bedframe has icicles. No one can see her at all.
K. Barrett
The Invisible by Tom Percival is not only stunningly illustrated, it is a story that has been created from the heart. And at the end of the book, we feel uplifted, with Isobel finding a new sense of joy and belonging. This is such an important story with a beautiful message.

I get choked every time I read it. They don’t have much, but they have each other.

That’s when Isabel realises it’s time to do something about it. Based on Tom's lived experience, The Invisible is the story of a girl called Isabel, living in poverty, who finds a way to bring the community together.
