'It was the 13th of September, 13 days after my 13th birthday, when I first learned how to be invisible…' Strato Nyman couldn't be more of an odd-one-out. He's the only black kid in Hedgecombe-upon-Dray, he knows more about particle physics than his teacher, and he's constantly picked on by the school bully. One day, Strato picks up a dusty book in a mysterious bookshop and learns how to become invisible. He discovers that people aren't always what they seem…and realizes standing out isn't so bad after all.
