The Schoolyard Mystery (Invisible Inc., #1) Reviews

1 star for "did not like it."
I don't like children's books whose only fat or big character is also the school bully.
I feel conflicted about giving these kinds of books 1 star when they're from the 80s or 90s, as this book is. So many kids books back then did this--painted fat kids as bullies and stupid--, it almost feels as though I should give them a pass. These books are products of their time; what do I want from them?
But, then, I don't like them. So, 1 star it is. -
Not particularly special, but I liked the diversity of the protagonists and the overall message against discrimination and bullying. Also appreciate it teaching kids that lemon juice can be invisible ink.

This is the first story in the
Invisible Inc. series by
Elizabeth Levy and
Denise Brunkus. It introduces us to the characters and explains how Chip became invisible and his dog, Max, nearly so.
The stories in this series are implausible and a little strange, but entertaining nonetheless. We took turns reading this book aloud and we enjoyed reading it together. -
High-interest stories make reading fun! Stories have been tested for vocabulary and sentence length to help you make the right choice! A letter from an education specialist gives you valuable advice on how to read to your child and how to listen to your child read to you!

This is the book that Hannah and I read together. She seems to enjoy the subtle humor from an invisible boy.

My favorite 4th grader book!
It's all about an invisible boy! I really enjoyed this book because it's easy, and it's a mystery! -
Very cute book to start with chapter books for some kids in 3rd grade. Keeps students interested on what is going on.
