Synopsis
10 year-old Arthur is still fascinated by the bedtime stories he remembers so well that his grandfather used to tell him until he mysteriously disappeared 4 years ago. But his grandfather's tales from an old book of spells are always firing his imagination and he vividly dreams of African tribes and incredible inventions.
What though if the stories are true? What if there really is hidden treasure at the bottom of the garden? And what if the 'Invisibles' - miniscule but friendly creatures - that his grandfather used to draw really are alive?
Worried that he will lose his home to an unscrupulous property developer, Arthur bravely embarks on a mission to follow the clues left by his grandfather and enters the world of The Invisibles...
