The Invisible Boy
Author(s): Alyssa Hollingsworth
If no one sees him, does he exist? This superhero-inspired adventure story explores friendship and what it means to be truly brave.
Nadia looks for adventure in the pages of her Superman comic books, until a mysterious boy saves her dog from drowning during a storm and then disappears. Now she finds herself in the role of Lois Lane, hunting down the scoop of the Invisible Boy. Suddenly she's in a real-life adventure that's far more dangerous than anything in her comic books. The Invisible Boy is a mystery and an adventure story, as well as a story about child labor trafficking.
Like Katherine Applegate, author of Crenshaw and Wishtree, Alyssa Hollingsworth takes a difficult subject matter and makes it accessible for middle-grade readers. Featuring illustrations by Deborah Lee
Kathleen's review - This is a nicely told story about Nadia, who models herself on Lois Lane and wants to be an investigative reporter, when she finds what she's investigating is a lot more "real" than she had imagined. It has great themes about friendship, looking at things below the surface, and doing the right thing.
