AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Now you see him, now you don't - an action-packed adventure about a boy who just wants to blend in, from a bestselling author/illustrator team.

'Even before all this happened I had never been like the other kids. I tried not to be seen. If I climbed a tree or hid among the bins, no one could find me. 'Where's What's His Name?' they'd say.

'Then, one weekend, I got what I wanted. First, I blended in with things. But on the second day I changed.

'I mean, really changed.

'The hilarious story of a boy with an unusual problem, from children's book legend Paul Jennings. Includes fantastic look-and-find colour illustrations.' (Publication summary)
