Dominik Mikulaschek: The Invisible Trick, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

In **"The Invisible Trick"** a perfectly normal Monday at **Regelberg Elementary School** suddenly turns into the strangest school day ever-because objects start disappearing as if someone is deleting reality. First it's just a chair. Then the chalkboard sponge. And moments later even the **door handle** seems to vanish right under everyone's nose. No smoke, no bang, no magic wand-just *gone*. For **Milo Mertens (9)** this isn't a silly prank. It's a mystery. And the worst part? The adults act as if nothing ever existed in the first place.

Right at the entrance, a bright sign appears like a warning from another world: **"VISIBILITY NOTICE - WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE, DOESN'T EXIST."** Next to it sits a strange scanner with a twitching lens, like a nervous eye. Welcome to **Project Look-Order**-a new system designed to enforce "discipline" and "safety," but it feels more like a secret experiment. Suddenly, everything in school is about being seen, behaving correctly, and following rules that make no sense. If you claim you saw something disappear, you're not helpful-you're suspicious. If you ask questions, you lose points. If you notice "visual irregularities," you might be punished for *having eyes*.

Milo isn't alone. He's joined by his two unforgettable friends: **Fina Fox**, the clever planner who writes everything down and spots patterns before anyone else, and **Tarik "Turbo" Tan**, the chaos-powered comedian who turns every disaster into a joke-right until the jokes start becoming real. Together they form the perfect team for a school mystery: one brave, one brilliant, one hilarious. And when the school insists that missing things never existed, they decide to prove the truth-before their own world becomes invisible too.

Because the disappearances don't stop. The scanner keeps watching. The rules keep tightening. And then **Inspector Order** arrives-clipboard in hand, voice like dry crackers, and a cold obsession with control. He doesn't investigate to find answers. He investigates to enforce one message: **If it's not visible, it's not real.** That means Milo's missing chair? "Never existed." The vanished sponge? "Impossible." The disappearing door handle? "A misunderstanding." Milo quickly realizes this is bigger than a prank: it's a system that rewrites reality by controlling what people are allowed to see.

**"The Invisible Trick"** is a fast, funny, and suspenseful **children's book for ages 8 and up**, packed with **school chaos, pranks, mystery, and adventure**. It reads like a movie: quick scenes, vivid moments, and a cliffhanger feeling that keeps kids turning pages. It's perfect for readers who love **humorous school stories**, **kid detectives**, **puzzles and secrets**, and the thrill of outsmarting unfair rules.

What makes this book special is the powerful message hidden inside the fun: **Trust your instincts** when something feels wrong **Think for yourself** instead of blindly obeying **Stick together** when rules become unfair

Ideal for kids who enjoy **adventure books**, **mystery stories**, **funny chapter books**, and **school-based fiction**-and also great for parents looking for a story that's exciting to read aloud and easy to follow. If your child loves laughter, clever twists, and the feeling that anything can happen on the next page, **"The Invisible Trick"** is the perfect pick.
