I was going to read The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, but I have put it on hold because a book I requested from the library arrived.

Brian is an "invisible" boy. No, not invisible in the sense that he cannot be seen, but invisible in the sense that no one seems to notice him. He is quiet and shy and his teacher and classmates just seem to overlook him. He is not picked for recess teams or classroom groups. Then one day a new student named Justin arrives at school. After other make fun of Justin's lunch, Brian makes Justin feel welcome and accepted and soon the two are friends. Having one friend starts to change things for Brian, maybe he isn't so invisible after all.
The illustrations are terrific. I love the symbolism of how the illustrator portrays Brian in black and white and everything else in color.
This book would make a great mentor text for a discussion about making everyone feel accepted. It also serves as a reminder for teachers to make sure we try to give adequate attention to all of our students.
