About this listen

When his parents are lost in space, Sam is left, heartbroken, in the care of the horrible Hilda Hardbottom. Then he finds a tiny spaceship in the cabbage patch and meets a little alien called Splodge. How Splodge makes him invisible, and how Sam uses his new talent in his darkest hour, makes a touching and extremely funny story with lovely memorable characters.

Critic Reviews

Gardner's playful hyperbole and spry pen-and-inks are certain kid-pleasers. Ages 7-up.
This story sparkles with originality and appealing out-of-the-ordinary events to provide a rivetting read.
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.
Funny and exciting
A heart-warming and laugh-out-loud story with wonderful memorable characters
Funny imaginative and touching, the Invisible boy sees Sally Gardner writing at the height of her powers.
The Invisible Boy has enough humour and action to keep less confident readers as well as assured readers turning the pages.
