Synopsis

Each of the Magical Children stories is about a child with a special gift. In THE INVISIBLE BOY, Sam is left in the care of the horrible Hilda Hardbottom when his parents go missing on a trip to the moon, and makes friends with a little alien calls Splodge who shows him how to become invisible. THE STRONGEST GIRL IN THE WORLD is about Josie Jenkins, aged 8, who suddenly finds that she can lift up a double decker bus with no effort at all, and learns to live with the vicissitudes of fame and fortune. And THE BOY WHO COULD FLY is Thomas Top, who is granted a birthday wish by the Fat Fairy and finds that his new talent has a wonderful effect on his whole life. Funny, poignant, and charmingly packaged with the author's own drawings, these stories by the uniquely talented Sally Gardner have already proved immensely popular, and this collection is a lovely way to introduce them to a whole new readership.

 Book Overview: Sally Gardner's sales overall for Orion are approaching half a million copies, and she has a devoted readership. Magical Children books appeal equally to boys and girls Sally Gardner described by the Sunday Times as 'an idiosyncratic genius'. 'If life has lost its magic, read 'The Boy Who Could Fly' ... An enchanting bedtime story for children, and essential reading for fun-starved teachers.' Junior Education On 'The Invisible Boy' - 'an enticing tale. 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

Media Reviews
