Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.
