Quotes
"Gentle humor and a realistic urban setting add interest to this solid middle-grade read. Appealing any time of the year."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Jenkins's chapter book fantasy, with its strong sense of place and realistic family dynamic, will have new readers wishing for an invisible pal of their own. Bliss's droll illustrations allow readers to see Inkling in all his furry glory, even when the characters in the book do not."
- The Horn Book
Praise for Invisible Inkling: "Gently humorous and nicely realistic (with the obvious exception of the invisible Peruvian bandapat). Anyone who has ever had an imaginary friend will appreciate sassy Inkling (who’s invisible—not imaginary)."
—Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Invisible Inkling: "A perfect choice for an early-school-year read-aloud: straightforward, zippy plot, likable characters, and believable family, with just the right attention to Hank’s adjustment to life after his best friend has moved away. And its last line is exactly what second and third graders love to read: ‘Anything could happen next.’"
—The Horn Book
Praise for Invisible Inkling: "A mix of wild humor, fantasy, and sadness, this series starter offers a moving story about defeating bullies. The story will grab readers with its comedy and captivating sidekick."
—ALA Booklist
Praise for Invisible Inkling: "Thoughtfully grounded, gently kooky chapter book. Jenkins colors her mostly realistic tale with enough bits of mystery and silliness to hold readers’ attention."
—Publishers Weekly
"Invisible Inkling is charming, fresh, and funny. Now I want an invisible friend of my own!"
—Sara Pennypacker, author of the New York Times bestselling Clementine series
