Tana and Scotty are keen to start their rugby training for the season, and are waiting on the field (with dual usage as an occupied sheep paddock) in their small town of Arakino. It’s time for the tryouts for their team. Soon three others arrive – first Muzza, and then two girls Zinnie and Andy. (Zinnia and Andrea).

Tana stutters out a comment about thinking they were boys from their text, but Zinnia’s quick tongue stops him short. Training begins. The darkening sky begins to let loose its rain and they continue their drills…. until KABOOM!

Something mind blowing just happened. They’ve not only been hit by lightning – and survived – they all look different. Their hair is glowing silver and standing on end. The nearby sheep look weird too. Even weirder when they leap into the air!

The Invincibles are born. Five kiwi kids who have to work out how to use their new powers and how to deal with the problems they create. They soon put them to use when an embittered ex rugby star is about to wreak revenge on his rivals.

Robots, Kidnap, Rugby and Superheroes. Short chapters, fun illustrations and a touch of toilet humour. There’s even Collectible Cards in the back of the book! The first book in a new series, and a winning combination for young readers.
