What is The Invisible Boy and The Boy With The Magic Numbers about?

When Billy Pickles’s dad leaves for New York, he gives Billy a strange moneybox that seems to have no slot for coins and no ordinary way to work. During a visit to New York, Billy discovers its magical secret and learns that numbers can reveal surprising things. With his Italian grandmother, Mighty Mamma and his newly rediscovered dad, Billy is swept into helicopter rides, a safe-cracking challenge and a dangerous kidnap mystery. Can his special gift help him solve it?
