Your Reviews

max from st. urbans:

I didn't really get stuck into this book and I found it a bit boring but you could tell the writer put some effort into it.

max gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Kathryn from Oakwood Primary Academy:

It wasn't really interesting but I enjoyed it. It was very easy to read and I managed to finish it within a day.

Kathryn gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Rhianna from new bewerley community school:

I liked the part of the book when the boy turned into a ghost and he had to find his mum.

Rhianna gave Invisible Inc. 1 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Lola from Allerton bywater primary school:

I rated this book a 5 because it is funny and parts of it aren't really realistic. My favourite character was the pony because it has lots of jobs that a pony could never do. such as becoming the manager of Sir Guy de Yupp's Splendid Historical Re-enactment Society and occasional guest speaker at the Lady Smyth Very Nice School for Scientists.

Lola gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Favour from White Laith Primary School:

This book is great if you love stories contained with cheesy jokes and puns but it isn't something I would normally/like to read. I like Jemima's writing and talking attempts to act cool and be *up with the modern slang* and I also liked Sir Guy's cringy songs. In my opinion, I would say that this book was quite different from the others in the shortlist and that this book should be aimed at younger readers; they should find all the toilet jokes more funnier than 9-11 years olds would. I believe that this book shouldn't really be a book and should instead be made as a children's cartoon on the television. I did, however, like the parts when the book was written in Jemima's, Sir Guy's and Maloney's perspectives.

Sorry, Steve Cole, but your book wasn't really my type.

Favour gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Flora from Lawns Park Primary School:

I really enjoyed this book but, I rated it three because there are books better that this one! however, it's very funny and could win a prize for a being a mysterious book. This book makes you want to not stop reading.

my favourite character is Sir Guy because I love his silly songs.

Jessica from Lawns Park Primary School:

I enjoyed this book. It took me a while to read it as I couldn't get into it that quickly. This book was full of action.

I didn't enjoy this book as the jokes got old after a while and it could be very hard to understand due to a lack to detail. furthermore it just wasn't my type of book, i -personally- like and adventure or mystery book.

Dan gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Francesca from Shire Oak Primary School:

I liked this book because it is mysterious and funny. I also liked the epilogue where it had the the little paragraph about each character. The introduction was fantastic although as it went on I found it a bit boring.

Francesca gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Eloise from Pudsey Waterloo Primary :

Some parts of this book were repetitive and hard to understand as they were not described well enough. But on the flip side I really liked the idea of the book and it's characters.(I found the idea of pow powder very imaginative!) I would recommend this book to ages 9 and below because some bits are quite childish.

Eloise gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

It was very adventurous and every chapter left you on a cliffhanger. It made you want to read on. Although it was a good book it was not my type.

bobbie gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Ciara from Barwick in Elmet C of E Primary School:

This book is perfect if you love stories filled with cheesy jokes and puns but it isn't something I like to read.

Some of the story I found thrilling as I like a good adventure, but other parts of the storyline bored me. I did enjoy meeting the characters and watching them grow together to become one team, 'Invisible Inc.'.

I was pleased by the end of the book with the cunning plan created to destroy Seerblight once and for all!

Ciara gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Rumaysa from Adel Primary School:

I loved this book; it was amazing and funny.My favorite character was Sir Guy because he is funny, weird and quirky. Noah was quite funny because he always talked about going to the loo!! I liked the funny names of the weapons and people. Also, the pow-powder was a good idea. I am really looking forward to reading magic ink.

Rumaysa gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Callum from Victoria Primary acadamy:

I love this book because I like mystery story`s I liked the part were the boy went invisible because he started freaking out

Callum gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Maisy from Westgate :

This book is jam-packed with hilarious jokes and made me laugh out loud. Although this is a funny book, at points it's hard to follow and doesn't make much sense. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of cartoon strips, because it has some fabulous illustrations. Overall, this wasn't the book for me but i think that others would enjoy it.

Maisy gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Eve from Westgate Primary School:

This was a good adventure story and was very funny. Although at some points I did not understand what was happening. It has some really good illustrations as well. The story was unusual, but that made it more fun to read. You never knew what was going to happen.

Will Noah ever find his mum? And will they ever stop the villain?

Eve gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Isabel from Shire Oak Primary:

I didn't really like this book because it wasn't my type of book. It was really well written but I like more emotional books. What I did like about it was how it was written so it was like the characters were writing it.I liked how Steve Cole was really creative.

Isabel gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Victor from Victoria Primary Academy:

I did not like this book I thought it was a bit childish and confusing I would recommend this book to little kids like seven to eight I think they are the ones that would find this interesting and funny

Victor gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Rhiannon from Lawns Park Primary School:

I really enjoyed this book because of all the action. I didnt really like the joke about Noah Deers name. All the characters were very fuuny especially sir something i cant remember propally. I really enjoyed the book.

Rhiannon gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

flora from lawns park primary school:

it was amaze

flora gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Molly from Beeston Primary School:

This book was not for me. The author is over-descriptive and talks about the same thing over and over again. I like Sir Guy's cringy songs and Jemima's attempts at being modern. The plot is a bit boring and made me want to definitely put it down. The beginning lures you into it's trap. I have rated this book 2 because of the characters amazing personalities.

Molly gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Lauren from Beeston Primary:

This book was horrible! The only part I liked was the epilogue, not only because I knew it was finished but also because I loved how he told us what happened to the character. I would recommend this book to people who like superhero stories.

Lauren gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Sonny from ABPS:

BEST BOOK EVER! It is the best book ever because it is funny and takes a lot of twists. They are the most unlikely group to succeed against the evil guy.

Sonny gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Chevelle from Victoria Primary Academy:

I really didn't like this book because they was more pictures than pages and I thought that the book was really set for children. I gave the book an 1/5 because I didn't like it and It was boring.

Chevelle gave Invisible Inc. 1 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

David from abps:

I rated this 100 because this book is SHA-MAZ-ING; the best book EVER!

I can't wait to meet Steve Cole (definitely not wanting to steal his ideas...).

David gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Evie from Victoria Primary Academy:

This book was alright but I'm not too sure if I like it or not. The storyline is unique but it is a bit too childish and is full of pictures. It was easy to read and it was a bit predictable.

Evie gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Stefania from Victoria Primary Academy:

I didn't really like this book because it was very childish and it had many pictures instead of writing. I kind of like it as it was easy to read and I knew who exactly was talking. Out of all I gave it 3/5.

Stefania gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Macy from Victoria Primary Academy :

I didn't really like this book as i thought it was very childish and i am not really into science stories.. I thought it was more for 6-8 year olds because they would laugh at it and enjoy it more than we do. These are the reasons why i gave it a 3 out of 5, Macy.

Macy gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

kady from Allerton c of e primary school:

This book wasn't really for me that's why i'm rating it four stars

kady gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Sophie from Adel Primary School:

This book was very funny and entertaining. Noah goes to the toilet; until he becomes a ghost! The story-line is inspiring and once you reach the battle part, you can't put it down.I gave it a 4 because some parts were boring.

Sophie gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Maisy from Westgate:

This book is a great adventure book. It's really funny and has some pretty crazy ideas in it. I like how it's been written, it has lots of pictures which helps the story a lot. The reason i didn't give it 5 stars is because the text varies in size and can be hard to figure out what is happening. i would recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of comedy and a lots of bad puns!

Maisy gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Kyrah from St.Benedict's:

I really enjoyed this book because it was filled with plenty of action and adventure I would recommend this book for children up to 11 or 12 girl or boy this is truly a book for everyone! When I picked this book up I thought that it was aimed at boys rather than girls but I was DEFINITELY wrong ; I guess that's why the saying "Never judge a book by its cover" is a thing! Thank you for an AMAZING read Steve Cole!!!

Kyrah gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Sukhi from Grange Farm Primary:

I loved Invisible Inc. it was imaginative and also a very agreeable book for example in action films and books nobody goes to the toilet. It was humorous because the knight kept singing and saying weird things that don't make sense. I would definitely recommend this book to creative readers.

Sukhi gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Marija from Grange Farm Primary School:

I thought this book was funny, however it is too childish.The book had quite a good story line to it but the description(as I have already noted) is too childish and very unrealistic.It is childish because of the way it talks about toilet-related subjects.This book would be better if it used the ideas in a more mature way,although it is a comedy book.

Marija gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Aminah from Grange Farm Primary:

My thoughts on this book are that it was quite funny however in a way quite childish. Don't get me wrong,this is a good, well thought out book but I feel as though it really wasn't for my age range. I love the ideas that Steve Cole has entwined into the core of this book;in addition I feel as though it would be better for children around the age of 8. Furthermore I did however love Sir Guys singing!

Aminah gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Sara from Alwoodley Primary School:

In my view, this book was quite childish, but was also extremely hilarious and amusing, so I highly enjoyed reading it. I think the book is for children aged 7 to 9, as it used young vocabulary and was an easy read with large text and many illustrations. My favourite character out of them all was definitely Sir Guy de Yupp-the Medival knight- who always sang funny nonsense songs. Overall, this was quite a crazy book, with its silly jokes and unusual characters- every part was enjoyable and entertaining! I would recommend this book to people who are up for a laugh!

Sara gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Mia from Shire Oak C of E Primary Schoool:

I put a 4 because I really didnt like it that much but I thought that the author was really descriptive with her character descriptions.On the other hand I thought that the author was packing too many characters in it .

Mia gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Imana from Shire oak primary school:

I rate this a 2 because it was not clear enough but had loads of description but not for the right words. Also I thought this story was reapetetive with its words.😊

Imana gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Reece from Holy Family Catholic Primrary School:

This book had to be my favourite becauseit had so much humour in it which i liked. I would defiantly read this book again and i would not get bored of it.Sometimes this book made me laugh out loud .The chapters were just perfect. The book was very age appropriate . The language was understandble . The book was very thought about. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes a easy read.

Reece gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Aine from Holy family primary cathlic school:

This book is a great easyread and i love.I will defiently read this again but i will read it a lot slower.This book is much like a comic and i loved the art style.I hope i will come across this author again.I would recommend this book to a 10 year old who likes comics.

Aine gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Hope from Holy Family Primary School:

This book didn't live up to my expectations. The book talked about one thing too much, and the 'humour' seemed rushed. A bit seemed repetitive like the toilet and how scared he was. I liked when it turned to different peoples perspectives and it wasn't just Noah's view. I loved the picures but in one sentence it said that, shown in the picture he barged doen the stairs, and there was no picture. Also, I saw a few other spelling and grammar mistakes.

Hope gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Noah from Holy Family Priamry Catholic School:

I felt like this book relied to much on comedy,this book shouldnt really be a book and should be made a kid cartoon on tv.This was a good book to finish leeds book awards on it began to be repetertive and focused way to much on one thing.It was very random for me

Noah gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Brooke from Shire Oak Primary School:

I really like this book because it was intresting and cool and adventurous unfortunately this is my last book and my favorite book was invisible inc.

Brooke gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Isaac from Holy Family Catholic Primary School:

This is a very great book because its very funny in my opinion!After the Leeds book awards i'm going to read all of them again without the time limit.This is quite unique from other books.The author could make the chapters shorter.overall i give this book a five out of five.I would recommend this to people who like humor and things like that.

Isaac gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Fatimah from Harehills Primary School:

This book was very good, it made me feel I was part of the story. It took me on an emotional roller coaster.

Fatimah gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Edward from Barwick-in-Elmet C of E Primary School:

It was a good book with very corny humour but near the end I got a bit confused of what was happening.

Edward gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Molly from Raynville primary school:

This book is probably my favourite SO FAR. I like it because of the unusual mix of humour and action. I totally recommend this book to fun and creative readers . It also is quite cliff hanging and unpredictable.

Molly gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Phoebe from Barwick-In-Elmet C of E Primary School:

It was a very...peculiar book plot - sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. The plot was original and interesting with the awesome robot chickens however there was things that really didn't needed to be added in. Like saying about going to the toilet every once in about two chapters :it wasn't needed. It was funny at first but then it just became a bit too much.

Phoebe gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Jasmin from Alwoodley Primary school:

This was a really good book and I really liked it. I enjoyed reading this because it was really funny and unlike other books, it was original. I rated it 4 because it wasn't something that I would normally read because it sort of looked like a boys book and it was a bit chatty, but I can't really judge a book by its cover so I rated it

Jasmin gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Jasmine from Alwoodley Primary School:

I loved this book because it was an easy read with lots of lovley illustrations. It was easy to picture what was going on and if you ever had to be forced to put the book down it would be easy to follow the story from where you left it. It is an amazing book with lots of description. A MUST READ!!!

Jasmine gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Maddie from Alwoodley Primary School:

Invisible Inc. is a book for younger children, with a big font and childish vocabulary. Personally, I don't like this book, although it would probably appeal to people who have trouble reading or don't like it so much. I think that the plot is quite good, but it's the way it's written that I don't really like.

Maddie gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Hanna from S:

I absolutely adored the book. It was ultra funny and I always had faith in the amazing gang Invisible Inc. I loved the parts when Sir Guy De Yupp sang all the hilarious songs that made all the characters cringe. I also liked the parts when the other characters take turns to tell the story. I rate the book a 5 (10 billion if I could) and would definitely recommend it to any type of reader.

Hanna gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Lilia from St Margarets:

Invisible inc is a fantastic, well-written and funny book that i would definateley recommend. It was exciting and wonderful book that i really enjoyed!

Lilia gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Ebony from Allerton Bywater Primary School:

I loved the songs made by Sir Guy deYupp; especially the plop song. It is a very good book. I would definitely recommend this book to people who have a good sense of humor and if you get puns.

Ebony gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Dan from Crossley Street Primary School:

The book was absolutely incredible it was scary,funny and exciting. My favourite part was the combat between the heroes and the villain.

Dan gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Emily from Great Preston C of E primary school:

I didn't really enjoy this book because of the fast pace of the storyline. I would rate it a 2/5 because it wasn't in my liking.

Emily gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Ella-May from Great preaston C of E Primary :

This book was okay. Steve Cole made the book good and enjoyable but it felt like the future was also in he past as the medieval knight for 500 years ago couldn't have had such technology. Steve Cole also made be dislike the medieval knight as he was too much of a character. I also disliked sir Guy because when the chapters flipped to sir Guy there isn't much detail of what is happening. But apart from this, I think Steve Cole did quite well writing the text so, Well Done Steve.😀

Ella-May gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Chloe from Farsley Farfield Primary School:

I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would because in my opinion I thought it went on about toilets too much. I think it was too childish for my liking but I did like the first chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone aged 7-9.

Chloe gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Lauren from Horsforth Featherbank Primary School:

I liked this book but I found it quite hard to follow when it jumped from person to person. This is why I give it a 3 out of 5. Even though I give it quite a low review I would still like to read Steve Cole's next book.

Lauren gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

Aimee from Churwell Primary School:

This book is good

Aimee gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Millie from Gildersome primary school:

It wasn't what I expected from the front cover but I enjoyed it in some places but others were just part of a book. but it isn't the worst book in the world but it isnt the best book in the world. Some people may enjoy it but I didn't really. Soz

Millie gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Ethan from Adel Primary School:

This book isn't my favourite because I didn't really understand it but I liked some parts; like how the knight always sings really weird songs. So far I have found this book amusing, thrilling and a little crazy. I would recommend this book to people who like Science and adventure because there is a 19 century Scientist in it. Also the boy keeps going to the toilet which I found weird.

Ethan gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Zainab from Harehills Primary School:

This book is so thrilling! I would highly recommend this book to anyone my age who loves adventure and monsters!

Zainab gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Amy from Pudsey Waterloo Primary School:

I quite liked this book. I think it was a bit to fast for me as things just kept happening and happening. I couldn't keep up. I also think that the toilet joke got really, really annoying after a while especially when you found out the name of the metal. overall though it was quite an enjoyable book I would definitely read more of Steve Cole's books. It was also funny.

Amy gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Max Helsing, Monster Hunter by Curtis Jobling.

Alice from Pool CoE Primary School:

the book was a 2 out of 5 for me mostly because it had very stereotypical characters like a child is getting slight neglect from its single mum and to back up my point the child is the one to save the world like every other comedy book out that has supernatural features.

It would have been a one for me but i gave an extra rating because of the point of view changes throughout the book. i really enjoy books that tell you everyone else's feeling about whats happening. if you are like me and really enjoy that type of thing then i recommend the book wonder by R.J Palacio.

over all i think that the author was concentrating on the comedy part on the book which isn't really my thing so most of all i think it wasted my time when i could of been reading something else but would recommend to people that enjoy toilet and wee humor.

Alice gave Invisible Inc. 2 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Hannah from Colton primary school:

I really like this book Jemima Smyth is so inspiring being a scientist I think this book should turn into a movie , it would be amazing .Invisible inc has loads of jokes.

Hannah gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Izabella from Pool C of E Primary School:

So good i really loved it it is awesome it is not my type of book but it is so good

Izabella gave Invisible Inc. 5 out of 5 and now plans to read A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill.

Maxwell from colton primary school:

This book is an alright book but I think the thing they could improve on is the pictures, I know you shouldn't concentrate on the pictures but they could improve, talking about the speech it is good not excellent but good. :) :) :( :(

Maxwell gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Connor from White Laith Primary:

I think the book was amazing! It was really humorous and a great story line.The idea of writing as different characters at different times during the book is something that I loved. The only thing I didn't like about the book was that it had pictures. The pictures were good, I can't deny that but I prefer books without pictures and just writing.

Connor gave Invisible Inc. 4 out of 5 and now plans to read Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard.

Gabriella from Barwick-in-Elmet C of E Primary School:

I feel that this book was quite different from the others in the shortlist. I think that this book was supposed to be aimed at younger readers because they should find all the toilet jokes funnier than children such as our self in the 9-11 category. I also feel that the story dropped a bit in the middle of the book and it didn't grip me at that point and wasn't exciting. However I did find the ending the best part of the book and I also found it easier to read as the chapters were not as long as some of the other books.

Gabriella gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock.

It was really funny and I think it is one of the best books I have ever read!

Keira from Beeston primary school:

This book dethrones Max Helsing, monster hunter as my favourite.This book was filled with drama, tension, humour and lots of strange more activities. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoy a mystery and adventure story. Thank you very much Steve Cole, for writing this great book and I cant wait to read more of your books !!!!

I didn't really enjoy this book. It was really different but I also thought it was funny at some places. I thought it was very childish and I would recommend it to people from six to eight years of age. The setting was weird and the characters were strange. Pick it up if you want a nice giggle.

Caitlin from Beeston Primary:

I think that this was a great book, but there was some imperfections.

It had a bit of drama, but it could have had more to add to the story.

I thought that the chapters names were too long and gave quite a bit of the chapter away.

I still thought it was a great book and was very funny.

I would recommend this book to people who like funny, heroic books.

Caitlin gave Invisible Inc. 3 out of 5 and now plans to read Cogheart by Peter Bunzl.

Kelsey from White Laith Primary School:

In Invisible Inc I thought the best bit for me was when Noah and Jimima meet Sir Guy and battle a robot. I think the book would have been better if Sir Guy lost Maloney. The three word I would use to describe this book is Funny Adventurous and heroic.

This book is unspeakably wonderful. The plot is good and hilarity is one of the highest quality in a book other than a joke book.this is the blurb...

With all humankind in terrible danger,earth's last line of defence is one you've never seen or heard of:invisible Inc. A medieval knight, a victorian inventor,a poetic pony and an ordinary boy. Saving the world?They'll see to it!!

Leo from Adel Primary School:

I found this book interesting because you don't know what is going to happen but it follows on in the next chapter unlike other books change the theme. This book is suitable for boys and girls. They show pictures of the people so you know what they look like. It is easy to read because it has easy words so you don't need to get a dictionary out and look for the word. I totally recommend this book for all ages.

Sophie from Alwoodley Primary School:

Invisible Inc. Was a very funny book and various parts of it made me laugh! I suppose it could have been a little more serious at times as it made jokes about very un-funny matters. In my opinion, the combination of different characters was well balanced and successful but overall my opinion on the book was that it's a book more for little kids and doesn't really belong in the 9-11's category (sorry Steve Cole).You may not agree with me but that's ok as we all have different opinions.

I really enjoyed the book as it was adventurous and quite unusual as well.I also enjoyed it as it was a fantasy story so it can't actually happen which makes it more engaging.If it was realistic and it could actually happen I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I could do it at home and then write a book about it whereas in this book it is impossible to experience this book in real life

Evan from Southroyd Primary:

First off, the book isn't exactly for a more mature reading group, and it has mostly a predictable plotline. The characters: A child called Noah, a stereotypically strange mother, an old and wise victorian inventor and an odd medieval knight... The characters haven't been developed enough, their properties mostly consist of straight-line personalities. A few jokes about bums and toilets, children getting invisible, freaking out, uncovering a plot to destroy the world and then rushing to rescue it... Invisible Inc. in a nutshell. I can appreciate the fact that it IS a children's book, however it doesn't exactly need this amout of children's book cliches as it does.

The story within the book was alright but it needed more emphasis to make me adore the book and they could add powerful vocabulary. Some of chapters gave me a fright as I wasn't expecting it. I think that he could improve his words for more up-levelled readers as I read the book in 6 days. I like the fact that he added twists and turns and frights to surprise the audience and to make him their hero, it's also to persuade the young people to become scientists or an author. Overall he is a brilliant author and I hope he carries on publishing more adventure books as he is one of my heroes Thank You Steve Cole!

Ayesha from Alwoodley Primary School :

I absolutely loved this book and think it's an amazing read. My favourite part was when a sword floated in front of Noah and my favourite character was Lady Jemima Smyth because she is very creative but I think the most funny character was Mr Butt. This book is perfect for someone who loves a bit of a laugh now and then and I would recommend it to everyone in the world!

caitlin from beeston primary:

I didn't like this book because it's really boring. Also, all it is doing is repeating the same thing over and over again. I found it hard to understand what it's saying. I also found it doesn't have any AMAZING vocabulary.

Ellen from Alwoodley Primary School:

At first I wasn't sure about this book because it looked too silly for me however when I started it it was really funny! It was still a bit childish at times however the first two pages are hilarious- the best part of the whole story. I think this is the easiest read on the Book Awards selection. The reason I gave it a 3 out of 5 is because it just isn't really my favourite style.

Eliza from Otley all saints:

I had high expectations for this book but unfortunately I set the bar to high. I didn't really enjoy this book because I thought it wasn't one of those books you could pick up and read for ages and ages. i think it would be interesting to read another of Steve Coles books to see if I enjoy them more!

Sanele from Kirkstall.St.Stephens:

I enjoyed this book. It was cleverly written with ideas Roald Dahl would be proud of. Although this book would never come close to the Harry Potter books as I am a die-hard Potter-head it still has the potential to win the shortlist.

Ally from Green Lane Primary Academy:

Invisible Inc. is a book by Steve Cole. It is an adventure story about a boy called Noah who gets hit with his Mum's invention, the Scan and Zapper, an invisibility ray and finds himself teaming up with an intelligent inventor, a poetic pony and a dangerous knight to save his mother and defeat the evil Seerblight and his henchman Mr Butt from turning the entire planet invisible. A funny story for ages 10 and up. I would recommend this book to my friend CJ because he likes funny stories. My favourite part is when they are fighting the Poultry Geists; they are evil chicken monsters who attack Noah, Lady Jemima the inventor and Sir Guy the knight with his strong pony Malony. In total I would rate this book 5/5 because it is cool, funny and awesome.

jalaal from alwoodley primary:

it was absolutely amazing I was on the edge of my seat when I eventually fell off. My favourite character had to be sir guy because he was so funny and I loved it when he sang his songs. My favourite part was when Noah tried to speak through his mums earphones.

Alannah from Green Lane Primary Academy:

I loved Invisible Ink because it left me on a cliff-hanger, it was hard putting it down. This book also has amazing spacing (most books' spacing is terrible and it’s harder to read because of my dyslexia). I also love adventure and this book had plenty of it the pictures are awesome and funny to I would recommend this book to 7 years and older!!

James from Green Lane Primary Academy:

What is the book about?

Noah lives with his Mum in a house that used to belong to Baroness Jemima Smyth. His Mum is a scientist inspired by Jemima. Noah's Mum found Jemima's diary and completed her creation of a device that will make things disappear! Then a van that says 'seerblight services' on it stopped at their house.

Who would I recommend this to and why?

I would recommend this book to people who like spy stuff and adventure and epic battles because if you like them you have come to the right book!

What ages is this book for and why?

I would say about 7 plus because there is no things that 7 year olds wouldn't understand. Apart from the letters they use for screaming.

Honor from St Roberts catholic primary school:

I really liked this book. It was very funny and I really liked the characters. I would recommend this book to 9-10 year olds who like adventure. I found this book quite easy to read so I do not recommend this to 11 year olds. if you like science fiction then this is for you! The story is about a boy who turns invisible and meets some invisible people. They have to try and stop and evil villain from taking over the world! they face many challenges on their way. This is a good book!

olive from beeston primary:

Invisible Inc. is such a great book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, wanting to read on; and I must say I could not put it down. The characters have so different personalities, but Steve Cole has managed to wrap it all into one hilarious, action themed adventure. If I managed to meet Steve Cole, the one thing I would ask of him would be to write a second one, as I love how he writes and I think this is an awesome genre for anybody who loves humour, superheroes or action. This book contains all of the above and much more. The only thing he could improve next time is to stick to what he said, for example: they couldn't physically touch or move anything, yet they could touch all of Jem's science equipment. As well some bits didn't quite make sense to me. However overall this book was a great read for me, and I am already on the lookout for more Steve Cole books...

Tom from Otley All Saints Primary School:

I liked this book because it was a mysterious,unpredictable and an interesting book. My favorite character is Sir Guy because he is very funny and made me laugh a lot which i like. My least favorite character was Steerblight because he is evil and mean. My favorite bit was when Noah came invisible.

My favourite characters maloney the way his feelings were like for E:G in the beginning he heard lots of ghost sounds and when he saw something invisible that opened the door.The characters felt unreal because they became ghosts. it kind of got me guessing because when he became a ghost he did not know what was happening he was really petrified because he was a ghost.

I absolutely adored this book. Not only does it have a twist to it it is also hilarious. Invisible Inc. is one of the best books I've read. Again it is a really entertaining book and makes the reader want to read on and on. The book however could use a bit more humor since I feel it is more of a comedy book than a action novel. Very true, in most books the narrator never mentions going to the toilet.

Jacqueline from Middleton st marys c of e primary leeds:

This book is amazing because the little boy Noah goes on a adventure with a famous Victorian Scientist Lady Jemima and a Knight Sir Guy deYupp. They battle a evil man who is trying to take over the world. My favourite characters are Noah and Jemima because them two listen to each other while they are saving Noah's mum and the world. I love this book. I hope I get to read more books of Steve Cole.

Ella from St. Margaret's C of E primary,Horsforth:

Invisible Inc. is a crazy, fun, fantasy book. And don't worry. This book is one hundred percent truth, with toilet trips, singing, and mental killer chickens. With Sir Guy's singalongs, the proffessor's brainy tatics and Noah Deer's sheer determination, this book is a very good book.

This book is amazing and you can literally can NOT PUT IT DOWN! Invisible Inc. isn't any old action book, but has many funny parts in it. Toilet trips and lots of singing too! I would love to read more of Steve Cole's books and I think you should too. I especially love the parts when Noah's mum says Noah Deer like (No idea!) and when Sir Guy has a singing moment.
