While skiving off from school, Tom and Geoff make an amazing discovery—a strange vehicle that has lain hidden for centuries. It turns out to be a fantastic flying machine that can travel incredible distances and take them wherever they wish. It can even make them invisible—what a find! The only problem is, how do they keep it a secret?
This award-winning novel (1997 Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year and shortlisted for the Smarties Prize) is a fantastic adventure, full of humour, excitement and the kind of adventures children are always dreaming of.
