Invisible Inkling, Volume 1 by Harry Bliss, Emily Jenkins
3.0
Not my favorite Jenkins, but an amusing story of Hank, whose best friend has moved away and who is now dealing with a bully. Help arrives in the form of Inkling, an invisible creature who is either from Peru or the Ukraine--he is an very unreliable storyteller. He's a bandapat, nearly extinct--which is why he needs to stay invisible--and he lives on squash, which is why he turns up at Hanks's parent's shop in Brooklyn, "The Big Pumpkin"--but it's an ice cream shop. The quest for squash is big in the plot, as is Hank's desire to see his new friend. **Spoiler: **The bully ends up being afraid of Hank after Inkling invisibly bites him, which I think is a troublesome message.
If the Toys Go Out series weren't SO great, I'd probably like this more.[b:Toys Go Out: Being the Adventures of a Knowledgeable Stingray, a Toughy Little Buffalo, and Someone Called Plastic|24686|Toys Go Out Being the Adventures of a Knowledgeable Stingray, a Toughy Little Buffalo, and Someone Called Plastic|Emily Jenkins|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1286404211s/24686.jpg|25521]
