What is The Invisible Boy about?

Brian often feels invisible at school. He is left out of games, groups and a classmate’s birthday party, while nobody seems to notice how lonely he is. When Justin arrives as the new boy, Brian is the first person to welcome him. The two boys soon work together on a class project, giving Brian a chance to share his ideas and shine. Through their growing friendship, Brian discovers that one small act of kindness can help someone feel seen, valued and included.
