About the Book
Antsy Bonano's new friend Calvin Schwa has a bizarre condition: he is functionally invisible to most people, who simply fail to notice him. Antsy and the Schwa set up a small business exploiting his invisibility until they attract the attention of the eccentric Old Man Crawley. A funny, warm, and surprisingly moving novel about friendship, family, and the fear of being truly seen.

Light Themes
The book's deeper thread involves the emotional pain of being invisible — not noticed, not valued — in a way that gently transcends the comedy.

No Violence
No meaningful violence. Conflict is entirely social and comedic.
