Eleven-year-old Victor, left alone at home, sees lizards everywhere. He meets the eccentric Chicken Man (and his clever hen Claudia) who takes him to Invisible Island, where the friendly and intelligent lizards live. The book--part satire, part sci-fi/fantasy--is amusing and original. Occasional Escher-esque drawings reflect the story's peculiarities.
