About this ebook

MY NAME IS FINN GARRETT AND THIS IS MY STORY.

I don't want to give anything away, so I'll tell you what you could probably guess from looking at the cover and flipping through the book.

1. It's about an invisible boy. Obviously. That's me. Actually, I'm not totally invisible. Yet. But I'm getting there.

2. There are a bunch of my drawings.

3. There are some really funny, really happy moments.

4. Just so you know, there are also some sad moments.

5. Everything in here is the truth. So if you like stories about true things, you might like this book.

That's all I'm going to tell you. All the stuff about my dad and my mom and my brother Derek and my friend Meli and whether or not I actually turn invisible or become completely visible again or figure out how to use my invisibility for the good of all mankind or just disappear altogether, you're going to have to read to find out.

So, let's get started. Just remember: This is my story, and anything can happen.

Ratings and reviews

Finn Garret has suffered a terrible loss. His father died while coming home on a plane. Finn wakes up one morning to find that he is less colorful. His skin is pale and his hair is turning white. It is as if a giant eraser is beginning to erase him. throughout the book, Finn gives out quizzes, he makes drawings and makes his entries as entries into a space log. As Finn begins to accept the changes to his life, his physical apearance begins to make changes. I really thought I was going to like this book but I didn't. I would say it was cute. There was nothing in particular I could put my finger on about it. It was just not the type of book I would usually pick up and put on my shelves for my students. Having said that, I was reading the book at school and one of my students borrowed it during class and loved it.

I rate this book five stars because it talks about how he and his family can go on without the father which shows them that they're brave and have heart.

This is the best book you could find. Trust me you'll have the best time of your life when you read this book. Have a great time reading it.
