Synopsis
This hilarious and heartfelt middle-grade novel travels with abrasive honesty into the cruel teenage world of the ignored and the mocked. Brooklynite Antsy Bonano discovers fellow eighth-grader Calvin Schwa, a kid who is so unnoticeable that teachers have been marking him absent for years. Together, they test the Schwa's ability to remain unseen by creating a series of pranks involving everything from a fluorescent sombrero to sneaking into creepy Old Man Crawley's place. Unfortunately, they are caught and must walk his 14 dogs as penance. But this punishment turns into a pleasure when Lexis, Crawley's blind but highly intelligent granddaughter becomes part of the deal. Fiction winner of the 2005 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Excellence in Children's Literature.
