The Institute of Fantastical Inventions

by Dave Leys

Want to float around the house like a bubble and pop at midnight? No problem. Do you long to be an astronaut but are too short, too round or have poor eyesight? Never fear, the IFI is here. But when it comes to people, Leo McGuffin is hopeless. He’s always destroying poor Andrea Allsop’s good work.

When Leo meets the boy-wonder, Edward, the pair turn boring Roger Mumble into an international man of mystery. Then they discover a dastardly plan to steal the secret blueprints of all the Institute’s magnificent inventions and it’s up to Leo to save the day. Which of the Institute’s famous inventions can foil the spies’ cunning plans and save the institute Leo loves from ruin?

    My granddaughter, aged 9, is an avid reader. This book sounds like it would really interest her.
