Â
Bold, moving, and deeply relatable, INVISIBLE is a powerful graphic novel about identity, belonging, and what it really means to be seen.
Â
George, Sara, Dayara, Nico, and Miguel couldn’t be more different. The brain. The loner. The tough kid. The rich kid. The athlete. But when they’re forced together to complete their school’s community service hours, one thing becomes painfully clear - to the outside world, they’re all treated the same: just five Spanish-speaking kids who don’t quite fit.
At first, they clash. They misunderstand each other. They keep their secrets close. But when they meet someone who genuinely needs their help, the group faces a difficult choice: stay invisible and protect themselves, or step forward - even if it means risking judgment, exposure, and rejection.
Told through a striking bilingual format with text in both English and Spanish, Invisible uses the visual power of graphic storytelling to explore prejudice, assumptions, and the quiet strength it takes to show up as your true self. The story gently but unflinchingly tackles themes of racism, class, language, and identity - while celebrating empathy, solidarity, and unexpected friendship.
Perfect for fans of New Kid and Allergic, this Breakfast Club-inspired graphic novel is an essential read for middle-grade readers navigating school, stereotypes, and the desire to belong.
