Find out more about A Place Called Perfect

Violet never wanted to move to Perfect, but when her father is offered a job that he can’t possibly refuse at the local opticians, she’s unwillingly thrust into a town full of rose-tinted-spectacle wearers. As her own eyesight begins to deteriorate and her mother starts acting as strangely as the other residents, Violet vows to discover the secret at the heart of Perfect – and then her father disappears! With the help of the invisible Boy, and a little imagination, can Violet save her family without making too much of a spectacle?

Can you see what we see? Download your own pair of A Place Called Perfect Specs, and find out.

Good Luck!
