Invisible Inkling

review 1: Hank Wolowitz (or Wolowitz, as everyone calls him) meets an invisibe creature named Inkling in his family's ice cream store, the Big Round Pumpkin. Inkling is one of the last of his kind, and he's come to the ice cream store because he is looking for the food that all bandipats crave, squash. But there is no squash at the ice cream store, even if it is called the Big Round Pumpkin. Hank tries to help Inkling at the grocery store, but an invisible creature can be big trouble. Meanwhile, at school, a bully named Gillicut is taking Hank's lunch every day. Inkling has ideas on how to make Gillicut stop, but will he be more help or more trouble?
review 2: Hank’s invisible friend Inkling, a bandapat, lives in his laundry basket. Inkling needs squash to survive and ... morethat’s how he ended up in Brooklyn, NY. Hank’s family owns “Big Round Pumpkin”, which is an ice cream shop but Inkling didn’t realize that. What a disappointment after traveling “miles and miles and miles” to eat the big round pumpkin. Starving, he decides to try pizza, declaring it “cheesy goodness”. It satisfies the bandapat for a while but eventually Hank needs to find him a squash (but not zucchini!) and that isn’t an easy task for a boy in Brooklyn.Hank has other concerns too. Putting the soccer ball through the wrong goal post made him an enemy of Gillicut the bully. Now Gillicut bothers him in the lunch room every day, demanding an ice cream “sprinkie tax”. Chin remains a loyal friend but she can’t really help Hank with his problems and the teachers don’t understand. The advice Inkling gives Hank turns a bad situation worse – what works for a bandapat obviously doesn’t work for a human.Invisible Inkling is a fun read with just enough illustrations to make it even better. Jenkins & Bliss are a perfect team! Both have an awesome talent for recognizing and translating kids’ behavior into hilarious situations. Ages 8-12 less
