The Mostly Invisible Boy (Casey Grimes)

By A.J. Vanderhorst

Book Overview

Book 1 in the Casey Grimes middle grade fantasy action adventure series-where an invisible kid trains to fight monsters in the suburbs.

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.

Everything changes when Casey climbs a giant oak tree after another humiliating day-and discovers a hidden fortress, a monster-filled wilderness, and kids who treat battling beasts like gym class.

Suddenly, he's no longer the weird invisible kid-he's a kid who's fighting to survive.

Because this isn't some cozy magical academy. This is a secret monster-hunting school. And America's backyards are the battleground.

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

And his fearless little sister, Gloria, insists on tagging along. Together, they're thrown into a world of mythical creature attacks, wild quests, and forgotten magic. Also...no bathroom breaks.

The monsters are real. The training is intense. And Casey Grimes is in way over his head.

Suit up. Climb the tree. Face the monsters.

A family read-aloud and classroom favorite-especially for reluctant readers who think they don't like reading. For kids ages 8-14. The wit of Percy Jackson meets the creature world of Fablehaven. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter's magical world-building. Over 250,000 copies sold worldwide.
