Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
Ten-year-old Frank and his family have moved nine times in eleven years, and Frank has had it. No more new schools or new friends. This time Frank’s going to make his sister love the place so much she never wants to leave. Because, you see, when your sister is invisible, she can do pretty much whatever she likes. And if she gets unhappy . . .
Could any big sister be more irritating than one you can’t see?
Just right for the age level: a touch of magic and a lot of warm and funny sibling rivalry. This book will see a long paperback life.
Great humor--the gentle and clever humor we know from Sara Pinto’s picture books has grown up with her readers (and sons)
Fresh redesign: A new design for this cover makes the title and art pop in paperback.
Light and accessible “fantasy” for readers who are not ready for the heavy fantasy that fills the market for slightly older readers.
A boy takes center stage: many new books/series for this age group (Clementine, Judy Moody) feature girls...here’s one for the boys!
The wry, sympathetic narrator tells a story that is well paced and sometimes funny....With inviting cover art and a concept that’s easy to booktalk, this short chapter book should find a ready audience.
Humorous....The episodic chapters make this accessible to younger readers and the combination of fantasy and a realistic family drama gives the story broad appeal.
The New York Times on Colin/The Glimmer Palace:
"Colin often writes with a supple, whimsical charm."
for Sara Pinto:
"Pinto’s Alphabet Room is a beautiful example of an ABC book that is both artful and on target for young children." Booklist, starred review
"A great reminder that learning concepts can actually be subversive and fun." --richiespicks.com on Alphabet Room and Number Garden
