The letter also outlines a mission: travel back to 1984 and prevent the go-kart accident that will eventually take his father’s life.

Čo nerobiť, keď sa stanete neviditeľnými

The moving, funny, thrilling and adventured-filled new novel for readers of 10 and up from bestselling author Ross Welford.

A volte penso che le bugie più grandi sono quelle che raccontiamo a noi stessi. Diventare invisibili a comando? Può rivelarsi una soluzione parecchio brillante per curare l'acne... Ma è qualcosa che la tredicenne Ethel non si aspettava certo di ottenere quando ha mescolato delle medicine alla crema solare. All'inizio è un vero spasso avere il potere dell'invisibilità e anche tenerlo nascosto a tutti. Ma quando il suo segreto rischia di venire a galla, Ethel si ritrova intrappolata in un'intricata ragnatela di bugie e inganni da cui potrà liberarsi solo se avrà il coraggio di rivelare, prima di tutto a se stessa, il suo più grande segreto: chi è veramente.

Cose da non fare se diventi invisibile

Tahle neviditelná holka si získá vaše srdce! Ethel už na akné vyzkoušela leccos. Marně. Když se jí dostane pod ruku podivná čínská medicína, která slibuje zaručený účinek, hned po ní skočí. Bohužel v kombinaci s návštěvou solária dojde k tomu, že se Ethel stane neviditelnou. Zpočátku to je docela legrace. Jenže jak má udržet svůj stav v tajnosti? Dokáže najít lék na neviditelnost? A když už je v tom hledání: odhalí pravdu o tom, kdo byli její rodiče, které nikdy nepoznala?
