More About This Book

Overview

Finn Garrett is disappearing. He used to have black hair and skin-colored skin, but each day his hair gets whiter and his skin gets more transparent. It’s been happening since the day his father died, and he can’t figure out how to stop it. Before he vanishes completely, Finn is writing everything down for us, his faithful readers. His words and pictures are the memoirs of The Last Invisible Boy. At turns funny and moving, Evan Kuhlman’s first novel for children, featuring drawings by cartoonist J.P. Coovert, is a magnificent and original tale of love and loss.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Were Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid to be suddenly bereaved, his next diary might approximate this painful but often funny novel, written by the author of the adult work Wolf Boy and illustrated by a debut graphic artist. Keeping a notebook, 12-year-old Finn Garrett explains in an early entry that a few months before, "a giant eraser fell from the sky and flattened me.... It's been erasing me from the world ever since." His father has died unexpectedly (in circumstances described only near the end), and Finn's black hair and pink complexion are gradually turning white (Coovert's cartoon shows a gray Finn looking into a mirror and seeing a vampire reflected back). As Finn remembers perfect moments with his father, avoids school as long as possible and compares his mother's and paternal grandfather's attitudes about death, he is made to see his pediatrician as well as a kindly school psychologist, who have their own theories about the "whiteness thing." Precise in his metaphors and his characterizations, Kuhlman delivers a study in coping with loss that middle-schoolers will want to absorb and empathize with. Ages 10-14. (Nov.)

From The Critics
If you or any of your students have read the book by Sherman Alexie titled The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, you have seen how powerful illustrations can be when telling the story of a young boy. Finn believes that after the death his father he is turning invisible. Finn's hair turns white, his skin grows paler, and people begin to notice the changes. Finn worries that he might be really turning invisible so he sits down to start writing and illustrating his life story. The book talks about his friends, family and the death of his father. The book does an excellent job of showing how an unexpected death can upset the routine of a family. The illustrations are well done and clearly show what Finn has a hard time telling. These illustrations allow Finn a chance to demonstrate his feelings, which are difficult for him to express. Kuhlman offers readers an opportunity to see and read the story of a boy who might remind them of themselves. Reviewer: Melissa Zanot

    did not meet expectations

    The Last Invisible Boy was a cute story, but was not at all what I expected. The back cover made the book seem interesting and full of adventures of a young boy through his school years. It made you want to read it because of the way the boy portrayed himself, mysterious, humorous, and interesting. This book is definitely aimed more towards 7-10 year olds than anything and would definitely be a good read for them.

    Very sad and not at all what the back cover represents

    I expected this book to be a bit of an adventure, based on the back cover. It's actually a diary of a boy who is depressed over the death of his father. The boy describes the day his dad dies, the funeral, and how he goes to the gravesite everyday. It was not at all entertaining, and I would not have read it if I knew what it was about. I read the whole thing, hoping it would get better. It sort of did, at the end. As better as it can get after a child loses a parent. My son also felt it was awful (he's 10 and a strong reader) and was sorry he'd wasted his money on it.

    I Also Recommend:

    This was an amazing book! From a 9 year old boy.

    The chapters are sometimes happy,funny or sad. It was an enjoyable book. I was upset when I was done reading it because I liked this book so much! A good book for about 8-12 year old (not 12 and up!)
