The Mostly Invisible Boy (Casey Grimes)

By A.J. Vanderhorst

Book Overview

For readers who love hidden worlds, dangerous secrets, and adventures that begin quietly-then turn fast, fierce, and unforgettable.

Being invisible sounds cool...until no one saves you a seat at lunch.

Casey Grimes isn't just ignored. He's actually invisible.

Kids walk into him. Teachers forget he exists.
It'd almost be a joke...if it wasn't his actual life-and a story reluctant readers don't put down.

When Casey climbs a giant oak tree, he discovers a secret fortress, a monster-haunted wilderness, and kids who treat battling beasts like gym class. Suddenly, he's not just the weird invisible kid-he's a kid who might accidentally die.

This is a monster-hunting academy-and America's suburbs are the battleground.

Good news? Casey's tough, funny, and hard to kill.
Bad news? Everyone else is, too.

With his fearless little sister, Gloria, Casey is thrown into a world of mythical creature attacks, layered mysteries, suspicious teachers, and forgotten magic-plus NO bathroom breaks.

Beloved as a read-aloud and devoured solo, this award-winning fantasy brings kids and grown-ups together around a story that's smart, exciting, and impossible to put down.

The Mostly Invisible Boy launches a middle grade fantasy adventure series for readers ages 9-12 (confident readers up to 14)-ideal for fans of Percy Jackson, Fablehaven, and magical-school adventures.

Monsters in the suburbs. A secret warrior school. A boy the world keeps overlooking.

Highly rated by parents, teachers, and librarians for its balance of danger, courage, and heart-and loved by families.

Book one is only the beginning.

Suit up. Climb the tree. Face the monsters. Grab the middle grade fantasy that keeps kids reading-and reminds them they were never invisible to begin with.
