Almost Invisible introduces you to Jewel, a young girl quietly navigating an impossible situation: she's living hidden at school, a desperate escape from an abusive home.

You'll find yourself wrestling with ethical dilemmas alongside Maya and rooting for Jewel. It's for readers who appreciate emotional depth, thought-provoking coming-of-age stories, and narratives that explore the powerful impact of friendship when life gets incredibly tough.
