The Invisible Boy
By: H. J. Marshall

The Invisible Boy combines the Paranormal with the Coming of Age category. The story is a stand-alone thrill ride to keep the readers satisfyingly on edge. Danger and romance appear on almost every page. The time period is early summer of 1976 in a town on the outskirts of Philadelphia.

Walking home after school Johnny observes the class bullies playing football in the local cemetery. The lead bully Leo kicks a plant off a grave demolishing it. Johnny sympathizes with the interned person and replaces the destroyed plant with a new one. The spirit of the interned soul is Agnes Starr. She manifests after witnessing Johnny’s act of kindness. She grants Johnny a gift she overheard him wish for. Johnny wished to become invisible to pay back those ruffians.

Johnny comes to the aid of friends, store owners and even the police. He’s a hero but sadly nobody will ever know it. The Invisible Boy is a fun read for those interested in the paranormal and teenage love stories.
