Invisible in a Bright Light

De: Sally Gardner

Narrado por: Rachel Atkins

From I, Coriander to Invisible in a Bright Light, Sally Gardner's first middle grade novel in 14 years soars with the imagination of a master story teller.

A pitch perfect, haunting story about a crystal chandelier shaped like a galleon that splinters into a thousand pieces, a girl abandoned as a baby on the steps of an opera house and a dangerous game called the Reckoning.

1870. It is opening night at the Royal Opera House in a freezing city by the sea, where a huge crystal chandelier in the shape of a galleon sparkles magically with the light of 750 candles. Celeste, a theatre rat, wakes up in a costume basket from what she hopes is a bad dream, to find out that everyone at the theatre where she works thinks she is someone else. When the chandelier falls, she is haunted by a strange girl who claims to know Celeste's past and why she must play a game called the Reckoning to try to save the people she loves.

Excellent.

Loved it, the story is charming and interesting and the superb narration makes it even better.

Sweet but forgettable

A sweet story. Not one that will stick in my mind or heart, but one that’s good enough for a few hours entertainment. Feels like a kids book, which I don’t mind every once in a while. Narrator was excellent!
