About this book
A quiet kid discovers that sometimes being overlooked feels a lot like being invisible—until one day it actually happens. Suddenly, slipping through school without being seen seems like the perfect way to avoid awkward moments and find out what people really think. But disappearing has consequences, and staying invisible won’t solve problems with friends, teachers, or family. This light, funny story invites readers to imagine the perks and pitfalls of vanishing—and what it really means to find your voice.
Setting: contemporary suburban school and neighborhood
