The Last Invisible Boy - eBook
Were Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid to be suddenly bereaved, his next diary might approximate this painful but often funny novel, written by the author of the adult work Wolf Boy and illustrated by a debut graphic artist. Keeping a notebook, 12-year-old Finn Garrett explains in an early entry that a few months before, a giant eraser fell from the sky and flattened me.... It's been erasing me from the world ever since. His father has died unexpectedly (in circumstances described only near the end), and Finn's black hair and pink complexion are gradually turning white (Coovert's cartoon shows a gray Finn looking into a mirror and seeing a vampire reflected back). As Finn remembers perfect moments with his father, avoids school as long as possible and compares his mother's and paternal grandfather's attitudes about death, he is made to see his pediatrician as well as a kindly school psychologist, who have their own theories about the whiteness thing. Precise in his metaphors and his characterizations, Kuhlman delivers a study in coping with loss that middle-schoolers will want to absorb and empathize with. Ages 1014. (Nov.)Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.

Wolf Boy
Kuhlman’s, Wolf Boy, a plaintive review of the year in the life of the Harrelson family immediately following the unexpected death of their eldest son and sibling, Francis, chronicles the movements of the characters as they deal with grief. Gene, the father, has engaged himself in some sort of extramarital affair that, other than a few pseudo-amorous romps in his carpentry shop, isn’t much talked about or developed by the author. Was this Kuhlman’s intention? One can only wonder. Helen, Gene’s wife, distraught at receiving too many death certificates, the result of a computer glitch in the County Clerk’s office, travels to said office and vic
