The Invisible Paperback – Picture Book, 4 February 2021
TOM PERCIVAL . Simon & Schuster Childrens Books . English
A moving, powerful story that shines a light on those that feel invisible in our world - and shows us that we ALL belong - from the author of Ruby's Worry. The Invisible is the story of a young girl called Isabel and her family. They don't have much, but they have what they need to get by. Until one day, there isn't enough money to pay their rent and bills and they have to leave their home full of happy memories and move to the other side of the city. It is the story of a girl who goes on to make one of the hardest things anyone can ever make. . . a difference. And it is the story of those who are overlooked in our society - who are made to feel invisible - and why everyone has a place here. We all belong.

About the Author
Tom Percival had an unconventional childhood in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire and these formative years are almost certainly what first got him interested in writing and drawing. The first books that Tom ever loved were the Tim and the Hidden People series by Sheila McCullagh, which featured a magical cat called Tobias. It all seemed VERY real at night, in a draughty caravan, reading by gaslight in a howling gale. After trying a few cities on for size, he decided that deep down he had always been a country boy and he now he lives on the edge of Rodborough common in Gloucestershire with his partner, their two children and a dog called Luna. Tom has produced covers for the Skulduggery Pleasant series of books as well as a whole host of others and has written and illustrated quite literally A LOT of picture books!
