12yo Raymond Hurley has been on his own practically his whole life. His parents neglect him, leave him for days on his own, and now they've left town, returned their keys to the trailor park office and abandoned him. Worried that if anyone finds out he'll be sent back to the children's home, Raymond and his dog Millie set up camp in a hollowed out tree in the woods, but with winter setting in and only a sleeping bag to keep them warm, Raymond must rely on his fishing pole, his wits, and staying invisible, so no one finds out he's alone.
How to Stay Invisible was recommended to me by a student. She said it was her favorite book. I'm not surprised, and so glad I read it. An edge of my seat story, so worried about Raymond and his terrible situation I could hardly put the book down. Had a good cry, and all the feelings. I highly recommend it too. Raymond defaults white.
