being overlooked literally becomes invisible, only to realize there may be far more dangerous threats in his school than bullies.

Sure, ever since Hector’s former best friend Blake started bullying him, he’s been feeling like he just wants to disappear…but he never thought he actually would. And then, Hector meets another invisible boy, Orson Wellington, who has an ominous warning: "I’m stuck here. Stuck like this. It’s been years. The gelim’s hunting me and it’ll get you, too." It turns out, there is more than meets the eye at St. Lawrence’s Catholic School for Boys, and if Hector is going to save Orson—and himself—from the terrifying creature preying on students’ loneliness and fear, he’ll need to look deeper. With the help of a mysterious new classmate, Sam, can Hector unravel the mysteries haunting his school, and discover that sometimes it takes disappearing to really be seen?Par Kate Beaton. 2022

Jeff Zenter, Morris Award-Winning Author of The Serpent King“Driven by mystery and peppered with themes relevant to young readers such as identity, betrayal, and romance. A bleak yet compelling portrayal of Appalachian mountain life.” — Kirkus Reviews“Complex and realistic…written with impressive nuance and strength. Russell’s debut offers a moving picture of a specific time and place.” — ALA Booklist“A gritty portrait of poverty and the opioid crisis in the rural South… Readers will be reminded of plotlines from Riverdale, and will appreciate the thoughtful character development and suspenseful pacing.” — School Library Journal“The romance between Harlowe and Tennessee is the story’s focus, but Harlowe’s relationships with his family…will linger most with readers.

Along the way, she sends a subtle message that embracing one’s background, rather than fighting against it, can provide a road to the future.” — Publishers Weekly“Harlowe’s melancholy narration makes this satisfying backcountry noir from the start... a vivid portrayal of a county literally and figuratively stained and disfigured by the mine, in which it’s nearly impossible to thrive and from which it’s nearly impossible to escape.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s BooksPar Arthur Bochner, Rose Bochner. 2007
