I chose Arctic Foxes to illustrate The Invisible Book of Invisibility because their coat turns white in winter to camouflage them against the snow. I read that temperature and daylight length cause the fox’s fur to change colour. I wonder how this change will cope with global warming, and the changing seasons?I remember reading (in a Chalet School book) that ‘weather may be, but climate is’. No longer I’m afraid.

Harry Potter meets the manager of Flourish and Botts, booksellers to the wizarding community, who tells him about the time the shop bought 200 copies of The Invisible Book of Invisibility but they could never find them. 

You might suppose that 200 invisible books ought be fairly noticeable, if only because they would be easy to trip over if you left them on the floor, or prevent you from putting something down on what looks like an empty space if they were all on a table. And what about scattering a handful of salt… or even sprinkles? Isn’t there a spell of visibility? But what do I know? And I probably shouldn’t scrutinise a book aimed at children, (or YA readers), with the pickiness of a granny. Which I am.

Still, I think I would ask the publisher for my money back. How are you supposed to read this book if a shop can’t find them to sell? Surely it should be equipped with a visible dust jacket?
