Review
Alex is starting secondary school and has decided to be invisible, which means don't react to what is being done to you or others. His new neighbor is David and he does react and because of this --- he is picked on and considered the lowest of the low. All of a sudden, anonymous notes start appearing hinting that a a boy will fly. Is this a stunt by their English teacher because they are reading Icarus in class or is this for real?
The setting of this novel is in the United Kingdom and is a story about friendship and loneliness. Recommended for grades 4 - 9.
Overall Book Score: very good
