"Have you ever felt like you were dropped onto the wrong planet? Like you're surrounded by people who seem to have a secret guidebook on how to be normal, while you're just making it up as you go? Yeah, welcome to my life."
Invisible is a laugh-out-loud, deeply heartfelt middle-grade novel about being different, being seen, and finding the people who see you for who you truly are.
Max Wheeler's brain is like a spaceship-sometimes launching into hyperfocus at lightspeed, other times spinning out of control in a cosmic storm of distractions. With ADHD, dyslexia, and sensory processing disorder, middle school is a daily mission through an asteroid field of confusing social rules, surprise pop quizzes, and cafeteria smells that should honestly be classified as chemical weapons.
His latest plan? Operation Normal Kid-a foolproof strategy to blend in and avoid standing out. Spoiler: it fails. Spectacularly.
When Max gets partnered with the ultra-organized, hyper-focused Amelia Lin for a major science project, he's sure they'll be a disaster together. Amelia has every step of her life planned out, and Max... well, Max once got distracted mid-sentence and forgot what he was talking about. But as they build a project around space and craters, Max realizes that maybe the key to surviving middle school isn't becoming someone else-it's finding the right people who like you just as you are. "Maybe being invisible isn't the problem. Maybe I just need to be visible to the right people."
