GREATEST INVENTOR Meet Izzy GREATEST INVENTOR
She wants to be the… of ALL time .
Izzy always believed in science, not magic. But then, one day, something unexpected happened. A fairy appeared in her bedroom, saying…
It is I, Rose Petal Twinkle-Toes, your Fairy Godmother.
The fairy gave Izzy a unicorn (which she hadn’t asked for)…
…and sent her on a mission to Fairytale Land (which she didn’t believe in).
From that moment on, life for Izzy would never be the same again…
Chapter One Ivisible Ink
The ogres were happy on their mountains… Izzy wasn’t expecting to go to Fairytal e Land that day. The last time she’d been there, everything was tickety-boo .

“So I’ve got all morning to work on my latest INVENTION ! ” thought Izzy.
“I want it to be perfect in time for Bella’s fairytale birthday party .”

But then Izzy’s sister, Bella, burst into her bedroom.
Ooh! A bubble machine! Is that for my birthday party?
Think like a proton and Stay Positive
You’re meant to KNOCK, Bella! I wanted it to be a SURPRISE!
Before Bella could say anything more, there was a puff of smoke,
and Fairy Brenda and Henry also appeared in Izzy’s bedroom.
Stay Pos
“Has something gone wrong in Fairytale Land ?” asked Izzy. “And where’s Fairy Rose Petal?”
She’s dealing with an uprising at the Home For Retired Fairies.
Apparently they ran out of cake.
Izzy couldn’t help but notice Henry waving his hooves around behind Brenda’s back. What was he trying to tell her?
“Since you last visited,” Fairy Brenda went on, with a strange smile, “everyone’s been having a great time.”
Snow White has discovered the joy of electricity…
Rapunzel’s still time-travelling with a gnome…
“Even the Little Mermaid has started talking about science,” added Brenda. But I’ve never even met the Little Mermaid!
That just goes to show how far your sciencey ways have spread.
Apparently, the Little Mermaid heard from a fish…
who
heard from a seagull…
who heard from a frog that…
Since Izzy’s been coming to Fairytale Land, princesses have been changing their stories!
“You see,” said Brenda, “the Little Mermaid is meant to make a deal with the Sea Witch. She gives the Sea Witch her voice in return for human legs – so she can be with her prince…”
But now the Little Mermaid has CHANGED HER MIND!
I’m not going to lose my voice just to be with my prince. There must
be ANOTHER WAY!
Maybe this new ‘science’ thing
can help me…
“That’s BRILLIANT!” cried Izzy.
“I’m sure I can help. Maybe I can invent a submarine for them to live on? Or an underwater suit for her prince…” Like this!

Fairy Brenda ignored Izzy’s ideas. “That’s not why we’re here, actually. Today, we need your help with a Magic Competition.”

“Henry really wants to do well,” explained Brenda, “so he can impress the other unicorns. Could you do some science that looks like magic, to help him?”
Are you SURE Henry wants to enter?
“Yes, Henry’s Q uite sure, aren’t you, Henry?” said Brenda, sternly.
“Mmm,” said Henry, in a strangled voice.
“But Izzy can’t go,” cried Bella. “She’s got to be here for my birthday party! It’s this afternoon!”
Time passes differently in Fairytale Land, remember?
“Izzy will be back before you know it,” said Brenda. “Gather everything you need, Izzy. Then follow us through the sparkly mist. Come along, Henry.”
But Henry was busy turning the pages of Izzy’s science notebook. Then he pointed at a page…

This is getting curiouser and curiouser…
…and, finally, passed Izzy a piece of paper.
The next moment, Henry and Fairy Brenda were
Puzzled, Izzy opened the piece of paper. It was completely BLANK . Then she saw the page Henry had been pointing to in her notebook…
HOW TO MAKE INVISIBLE INK
1. Squeeze the juice from a lemon. Dip a brush in the juice and write on a piece of white paper. Let it dry for 15-20 minutes.
2. Bring the paper to a heat source. Ask a grown-up to put it in the oven or iron your piece of paper on high heat until…
THE SECRET MESSAGE IS REVEALED!
HOW IT WORKS: When the lemon juice dries, it looks invisible. But when it’s heated, the juice reacts with oxygen gas in the air and turns brown, showing clearly.
“Oh!”
cried Izzy. She hurried over to her lamp and held the paper over the heat of the bulb. Slowly, slowly, writing began to appear…
DON’TCOMETO FAIRYTALELAND.
