Samenvatting

Step into a wildly imaginative world with an invisible girl, a flying boy and where being weird is brilliantly wonderful! A magically fantastical story from American author, Laura Ruby.

Gurl is trapped in a New York orphanage, where the horrible Mrs Terwiliger makes all the children's lives a misery. But Gurl is not like the other children. Gurl can make herself invisible, and that changes everything.

There's a cat called Noodle for a start, and a boy called Bug who dreams about flying. There's a Professor with grass growing out of his head and a man called Jules who pops up in the unlikeliest places. There are Sewer Rats and Punks, white alligators and wooden monkeys. And worst of all there are gangsters: vicious types like Sweetcheeks and Odd John (he's the one with the zip across his face).

If only Gurl knew who she once was, she might realise just why everyone's looking for her now…

Creepy characters and strange stories combine in the weirdest and most wonderful book you will read all year.

Step into a wildly imaginative world with an invisible girl, a flying boy and where being weird is brilliantly wonderful! A magically fantastical story from American author, Laura Ruby.

In a vast and sparkling city where nearly everyone can fly, 12-year-old Gurl is trapped. Orphaned and lonely, she believes she is nothing more than a flightless "leadfoot", until one fateful night when she discovers that she has the power to make herself invisible.

But even with this newfound talent, Gurl can't hide from a giant rat man with a taste for cats, a manipulative matron with a penchant for plastic surgery, and a belligerent boy named Bug.

Gradually, Gurl learns to control her power and teams up with Bug to figure out who and what she is. Their quest takes them on a wild ride where they confront mind-bending monkeys, an eccentric genius with a head full of grass and a pocket full of kittens and the handsome but lethal Sweetcheeks Grabowski – the gangster who holds the key to Gurl's past…and the world's future.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
