The Schwa Was Here

by Neil Shusterman

The Schwa Was Here Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

They say his clothes blend into the background, no matter where he stands. They say a lot of things about the Schwa, but one thingas for sure: no one ever noticed him. Except me. My name is Antsy Bonanoa and I was the one who realized the Schwa was afunctionally invisiblea and used him to make some big bucks. But I was also the one who caused him more grief than a friend should. So if you all just shut up and listen, Iall tell you everything there is to know about the Schwa, from how he got his name, to what really happened with his mom. Iall spill everything. Unless, of course, athe Schwa Effecta wipes him out of my brain before Iam donea].

Synopsis:

From the award-winning author of "Full Tilt" and The Shadow Club novels comes this tongue-in-cheek tale of a boy so unremarkable, he just might disappear completely.

A wonderful book for everyone young and old. It illustrates teenage life and the hardships of not being able to stand out. This book really makes you think and lets you see that lonely kid in the back of the classrom that sits by himself in a whole new way.
