Impossible Things

Publisher: Wren & Rook

Have you ever wondered if vampires walk among us? Or if imaginary friends can come to life? Are houseplants able to communicate? And do ghosts really go on strike?

Discover the answers to these questions and more in this marvellous chapter book, which is perfect for anyone who likes to think outside the box. Packed full of offbeat ideas and curious tales, readers will learn about an array of impossible things, from ghosts, aliens and monsters to elf hunters, psychic spies and time travel.  

Fact detective and comedian Dan Schreiber provides top tips on how to become an Impossible Investigator, and encourages readers to change the way they view the world and open their minds to the implausible. After all, at the start of the 20th century, it was thought that flying vehicles were an impossibility, yet now there are, on average, one million people flying in the skies at any given time.  

Brilliantly written, this hilarious book is both entertaining and informative, with oodles of laugh-out-loud moments. This large-format paperback is superbly designed, with an attractive, accessible layout and an abundance of funny, dynamic black-and-white illustrations and comic strips.
