Oliver is disappearing.
Oliver is supposed to be in Grade 8, but instead he's becoming invisible. He has been living in the hospital while his mom is getting cancer treatment, with nobody seeming to know or care that he’s even there. Even after his mom passes away and he’s sent to live with his estranged father, he feels invisible on the large, secretive estate at first. He quickly realises his dad, a genetic scientist, has developed a technique for bringing extinct species back to life – even an animal that is so rare it was thought to only be a myth. Just when Oliver starts thinking he’s found a home among the extinct animals and eccentric characters, disaster strikes and it’s up to Oliver to protect everything that's become important to him.
Oliver is besig om te verdwyn.
Oliver is veronderstel om in graad 8 te wees, maar in plaas daarvan is hy besig om te verdwyn. Hy bly in die hospitaal terwyl sy ma kankerbehandeling ontvang, met niemand wat blykbaar weet of omgee dat hy daar is nie. Selfs nadat sy ma oorlede is en hy gestuur word om by sy vervreemde pa te woon, voel hy eers onsigbaar op die groot, geheimsinnige plaas. Hy besef vinnig dat sy pa, ’n genetiese wetenskaplike, ’n tegniek ontwikkel het om uitgestorwe spesies weer tot lewe te bring – selfs 'n dier wat so skaars is dat almal geglo het dis slegs 'n mite. Net toe Oliver begin dink hy het ’n tuiste gevind tussen die uitgestorwe diere en eksentrieke karakters, tref 'n ramp en dis Oliver wat alles moet beskerm wat vir hom belangrik geword het.
