Rating: Needs Parent Supervision, Not for me

Reading Level: Early Elementary , Mid-Late Elementary

This silly, clever sci-fi was lots of fun but had a lot of concerning ghost and ghost-worship stuff. I’m guessing most kids would recognize it was make-believe, but still worth having a conversation that we don’t worship ghosts, etc.

Possible Concerns

  • Skipping school
  • Mentions of ghosts, zombies. Invisible Boy’s mom thinks he is a ghost.
  • Girl bows down to a ghost.
  • The villain deceives his mother with a button that hides his evil lair and makes it look like a Lego playroom.
  • Use of luck, a lucky coin

I had serious concerns also about Book 2: The Adventures of Invisible Boy: Zeroes to Heroes, but I used them as teaching opportunities and I strongly recommend the same for your kiddo as well.
