The Last Invisible Boy
Checking Availibility...Description
Finn Garrett is disappearing. He used to have black hair and skin-colored skin, but each day his hair gets whiter and his skin gets more transparent. It's been happening since the day his father died, and he can't figure out how to stop it. Before he vanishes completely, Finn is writing everything down for us, his faithful readers. His words and pictures are the memoirs of The Last Invisible Boy. At turns funny and moving, Evan Kuhlman's first novel for children, featuring drawings by cartoonist J.P. Coovert, is a magnificent and original tale of love and loss.

"The Last Invisible Boy is at turns heartbreaking and uplifting...A gutsy book that will stay with me a long time." -- Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid
