review 1: I was planning to give this book three stars because it is a good enough book....until I reached the end. I did not like the way the author rectified the bullying situation.The story is that Hank Wolowski meets an invisible talking animal. At the same time, there a bully at school who is stealing Hank's lunch. None of the adults he turns to help him. (They are pretty clueless....annoyingly so.) Anyway, at the end the Inkling (the invisible animal) bites the bully on the ankles. Everyone thinks Hank did it. THEN the bully stops bothering Hank. Evidently he is now scared of Hank because Hank bit him. Problem solved.I did not like that this teaches that biting can solve a bullying problem. Maybe in real life that would work, but I certainly don't want my kid trying... more it out to find out.
review 2: This book was a pleasant surprise for me. I hadn't heard of the author or the title so I wasn't sure what to expect. Poor Hank has to start the new school year off without his best friend. Luckily he meets an invisible (not imaginary) bandapat from the Peruvian Woods of Mystery in his parent's ice cream shop named Inkling. Inkling and Hank team up to face some bullies in Hank's school. Overall, I thought the story was appealing, cute and one bully story that didn't knock me over the head with its message. Just a sweet, readable story with charming pictures that I think a lot of kids would enjoy. Sometimes I wish I had Inkling in my backpack too. less
