Brian's classmates do not include him in anything-games at recess, birthday parties, lunch conversations, so he feels invisible. Even his teacher treats him as he does not exist. Then a new student arrives. Brian has the choice to reach out or stay within his invisible world.
The first time I read this book, I almost cried. A must read when beginning the school year.
Wonderful artwork that matches the mood of the story-watch Brian and how he changes.
*Highly recommend.
