What Not to Do If You Turn Invisible by Ross Welford
4.0
Having loved Time Travelling With A Hamster I was looking forward to this one.
Ethel lives with her grandmother as her mother is dead, and she knows nothing of her father. She has such severe acne that she resorts to online purchases from China. This ointment, unfortunately, plays a large part in the trouble she gets into during the course of the story when she becomes invisible.
There's some lovely comic scenes where Ethel attempts to help someone out while she is invisible There's an endearing quality to Ethel that shines off the page, and it was good to a genuine friendship between a boy and a girl.
Family, just as in Welford's debut, is central to the book and there's many links to it here.
All in all, an entertaining read.
