“The Joshua Files – Invisible City”: book and Website
Specially for Lukas, who wanted to know what the book looks like without the slipcover.
Ooh it’s dead good how the slipcover glows at the edges. The effect works best in a dimly lit room. A photo just doesn’t do it justice but I’ve tried to capture the effect here:
Don’t the design people at Scholastic totally RULE?
Meanwhile the official Joshua Files Website is now up and running! It’s got a sample chapter and cool desktop wallpapers to download.
My little 6-year old has been talking the book up in her primary school, bless her. And yesterday I told her to go choose a new book to read from her bookshelf, but instead she went and found my one copy of ‘Invisible City’ and presented it to me very shyly. “Are you sure?” I said. “It’s a bit grown-up for you.”
But she was adamant. So I started reading it to her. It’s going to take a while because I have to explain things as we go. But if our neighbour can read ‘Northern Lights’ to her four-year old, then dammit, I’ll really try to help my little daughter to enjoy ‘Invisible City’.

Oh my. I might have to go and get some stabalizers from the doctor!
Thank you for the picture.
That’s nice that your daughter is taking an interest in the book. Is she enjoying it? What a silly question of course she is. It’s practically illegal not to like it it’s so good.
Website update. I must check this out. I was on there only the other day.
The book looks very nice. Extremely eye-catching.
How long is it till the release now?
Precisely 20 days and counting!
Can’t wait to see what the charts think of you.

Hey Lukas, glad you like it.
I have asked for a copy which I’ll sign and send to you – waiting for Georgia on this. I *hope* it gets to you sooner than the 4th but can’t be certain. I’m going to have some Mayan hieroglyphs done for a rubber stamp. What would you like: Ek Naab or Bakab?

Ahh. Actually, I look forward to reading this again when I get the proper copy – though that will have to wait until the end of February. SIGH. When one flies back from New Zealand.
