“Sometimes, it's not about being invisible—it's about finding the courage to be seen.“

This book could link to my teaching by helping students explore themes of individuality, self-acceptance, and peer dynamics, which may also foster discussions about inclusion and empathy in class. These themes align with many social and emotional learning goals.

This book was written in 2019 and it is a graphic novel that won the Newberry Honor Award. The book follows a young boy who mysteriously gains the power of invisibility and must navigate the challenges of middle school, friendships, and self-acceptance while keeping his newfound ability a secret. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about identity and the importance of being seen for who he truly is.

Another marvelous reread. Though I surprised myself by being less satisfied by the ending than I was the first time. As much as there is a full arc for the main character, there are platonic and potentially romantic relationships feel like they were just getting started. Likewise, there's a major character or two who, while the backstory was important, I also feel is just getting started in their own arcs. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 Thankfully there's a sequel coming out this October (!), which from the description sounds like it picks up where this one leaves off. So I guess now I just wait a few months to see if that satisfies the bits I wanted. Which is not to say this is not a splendid read. Original review with a more helpful summation can be found linked to posts about this book. ☺️ 4mo
TheKidUpstairs I didn't know there was a sequel coming! That's so exciting. I loved this one when I read it for #CanadaReads a coyote years ago 4mo
TheKidUpstairs That should say couple, not coyote. Although I do love coyotes. 4mo
Robotswithpersonality @TheKidUpstairs Honestly not sure I can wait until my library acquires a copy. Might have to be a buy! 4mo
Robotswithpersonality @TheKidUpstairs Autocorrect recognizes your love for coyotes! 😅 4mo

This was good old fashion popcorn urban fantasy that is entertaining and escapist. We see our heroine slowly slide deeper into villainy as she deals with a slowly burning rage at what heroes have done to wrong her.

Want to read a hyper-violent, ultra vulgar male power fantasy where the protag gets taught how to have sex (properly) by Halle Berry? (I didn't.)

This epic tale boasts on the back cover of how it “spans decades” and “from street-level to far reaches of space” and “starring literally anyone…”. To me these are faults, not bonuses. A story that is too epic and sprawling, means less connection to the emotional core. It means too many characters to care about. Too many jarring changes of venue, too many plot threads, too much of everything that ultimately means… I just don‘t care about anything.

As unhinged and violent and sweet and salacious as one might expect. Love any issue that provides evidence for Harley+Poison Ivy 'ship.
Sad to hear that my start at reading this series comes on the same day as the voice of Harley Quinn from the iconic Batman The Animated Series has passed away. 😔 RIP Arleen Sorkin. You remain an inspiration with one heck of a legacy.
